R help - Aug 2010 - odfWeave

Dear -r-helpers,

I'm trying to get my students to use odfWeave. Windows users are having 
trouble. I would appreciate advice.

Comment 1:

Hello I have spent a while today trying to get odfWeave to be successful I 
installed the unzip and zip program but it has not changed the error message.I 
have copied the error message below but I am sure it is the one others have 
experienced.
> odfWeave('test.odt','testOut.odt')
   Copying  test.odt
   Setting wd to 
 C:\Users\Mark\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpHPp0yb/odfWeave30211245749
   Unzipping ODF file using unzip -o "test.odt"
Error in odfWeave("test.odt", "testOut.odt") : Error
unzipping file
In addition: Warning message:
In system(zipCmd[2], invisible = TRUE) : unzip not found

Please advise on any way to get around this issue. I am running Windows 7.

Comment 2:
I have been having the same problem as Mark for a few days now.  After 
inputting the odfWeave command, the output looks normal up to this line:
Unzipping ODF file using unzip -o "test.odt"
but the next few lines show an error message.  It seems to be a problem with 
the unzipping process, but installing the Zip and Unzip programs do not remedy 
the problem.  I am also running Windows 7.

Michael

It looks like a path problem. I have not figured out how to handle it in Win 7
(new system last week) but have a look at
http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/odfWeave-Error-td1595848.html#a1595848
which I think addresses the problem.
