Sorry Gentlemen and all. Now this is becoming a joke (to me). I repeated
what I did earlier, with and without the option to set repos suggested
by Duncan. Now it does not work. I wonder whether it is dependent on the
mirror I chose, but I do not remember the one I chose earlier when it work.
I need your help, gentlemen, as I need to use R-3.0.3 for my task.

Don't choose a mirror. That will override the repos choice. Do update R to a current version if you aren't able to debug this yourself.

Thanks for the help. I have a reason to continue with R-3.0.3. I used
maxLik to estimate econometric models and some of them are better
handled with R-3.0.3 (but not later)----a sad reality I do not like.
Here is what I did. I downloaded
https://cran-archive.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/aod_1.3.zip
and installed the zip file, which worked in both RStudio and R (without
RStudio).
In RStudio, I go Tools -> Install packages -> Install from -> (Choose
zip) -> (Browse to the zip file)
IN R, I go Packages -> Install packages from local file(s) -> (Browse to
the zip file)...
Below is the command line generated and the prompt.
> install.packages("C:/Users/USER/Downloads/aod_1.3.zip", repos =
NULL,
type = "win.binary")
package ?aod? successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
I will always be able to download the proper .zip file from CRAC
Archive, right. So, this will always work for me? Thank you all !! If
there are more direct options that work, I would still be interested to
know.
