Dear Vito,
I've never experienced this problem myself in a general way, and I'm
sure that Windows users of R call install.packages() all the time to install
packages from CRAN mirrors. So the question to ask, I think, is what's
preventing install.packages() from working in your case -- possibly an Internet
connectivity problem due to a firewall, proxy server, use of https, etc. I'm
sure that others more knowledgeable about these issues than I am will be able to
make more specific suggestions for fixing the problem.
Best,
John

Subject: Re: [R] Help required for Rcmdr
dear all,
I don't know if that problem is related to the Rcmdr package itself..
(Sekhar try to install any other packages..)
I am experiencing the same problem, in that when typing
> install.packages("_ANY_PACKAGE_")
I get the message
Warning message:
package ?_ANY_PACKAGE_? is not available (for R version 3.2.3)
But I can download the .zip file and unzip it..
I tried different CRAN mirrors...
best,
vito

Several of my students have had this type of difficulty with Rstudio.
Rstudio masks install.packages with a similarly named function in an
environment that does not appear in
either conflicts(details=TRUE) or in search().
The workaround is an explicit call to utils
utils::install.packages("package.name")
