Hello, I've built a windows binary package from my Mac using the help from this site: http://win-builder.r-project.org As expected, I got back the file "mypackage.zip". Also, the logs show no errors. Now, when I try to install on windows using the GUI "install package(s) from local zip files", I get the following error:> utils:::menuInstallLocal()Error in read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning messages: 1: In unzip(zipname, exdir = dest) : error 1 in extracting from zip file 2: In read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) : cannot open compressed file 'mypackage/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory' I've attempted to use the solutions from prior similar email threats with no success. Btw - I've install all the packages dependencies prior to the above. I'm on R 3.2.0. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you. Axel. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Thanks Uwe. Actually, the problem persists in R-3.2.1. If it helps, the .zip file is here: http://win-builder.r-project.org/yC8eUu09w3Ui/ Thank you, Axel.
