Hi all, I'm using R0.99a on WinNT4. I downloaded a bunch of packages and tried using Rinst.exe to install them. For whatever reason, Rinst.exe does not find all the packages I downloaded. I put all files in the same temp directory, but Rinst only finds some of them. I have no problem installing the rest with WinZip, but if Rinst works it would be much easier (don't have to run WinZip

I've heard from several users who report no difficulties using the Rwinst.exe installer for the released version of 1.2.0. I've blown away all traces of 1.2.0 on my system and have re-downloaded all 10 zip files and the installer on both my NT and Win2K boxes. The memory-overwrite error persists on both systems, suggesting that there is some incompatibility between the 1.2.0

hi- I downloaded r 0.90.0 for windows and ran rwinst.exe and the base package would not install for me. I had to unzip rw0900b1.zip and r20900b2.zip manually and then do the rest of install with rwinst. Is this due to b being replaced by b1 and b2?

I installed R 0.64.2 using "rwinst.exe" on a Windows 95 machine. The zip files and rwinst.exe were stored in a directory "rtmp" and I wanted R to be installed in "r0642" (by setting c:\rtmp for source directory and c:\ for install directory). After the installation was completed the main program was in r0642 whereas all the documentation in c:\rtmp\r0642. Is this

Here are some comments generated by a new R user based on initial experiences with the tool.

I just downloaded the NT version of R and cannot find anything concrete on loading packages. There is alot on how to do it under Unix. The windows FAQ briefly mentions it but does not explain it. I have donwloaded windows binaries of the package "clust.zip" and unzipped it into my c:\rw0632\library directory... So I have c:\rw0632\library\cluster Now what do I do ?

Hi, I've just downloaded rwinst.exe and ran the installer. Afterwhich I double-clicked the Rgui icon.

Forgive me, but while I find the documentation for initially installing R to be clear, I'm not so happy about updating. I want to update from R 1.2.1 to R 1.2.2 (mainly so I can get the debugged version of pictex() ). Now I have downloaded the base zip files, say to Z:\Program Files and my existing installation of R 1.2.1 is sitting in Z:\Program Files\rw1021. Running rwinst.exe I need to

A new version of the chron add-on package is now available from CRAN. The previous version introduced code to ensure that chron would work correctly in the 21st century. Of course, the main issue is how to deal with 2-digit dates. To this end, the original author of chron, David James, indicated that the `y' format specifier was always meant to specify the year without the century (i.e.,

Hi, I tried running Rcmd.exe to no avail. It doesn't even start because it tries to read some memory address that NT says it can't and terminate. I tried downloading and reinstalling rw1020sp.zip with the installer twice just in case it got corrupted somehow in transport but it resulted in the same problem. What should I do? platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch x86 os Win32 system

Dear R-friends, As the binary windows version of R being distributed, what is the correct way to install contributed packages without using winst.exe as before? The answer in "R for Windows FAQ" says: "You can install pre-compiled packages either from CRAN or from a local .zip file by using install.packages: see its help page." But the information available in

Dear All, I am trying to fiugre out how install packages on the base system. The "FAQ" tells me that more details can be obtained by typing "help(install.packages)", but my R system gives me an error message when I did that. I also tried "help(PACKAGES)", "help(install.packages())", but none worked. Anybody can help? I am running R 1.1.1 on WinNT 4.

I have built a version of the current 1.2.2 patched version of R using Inno Setup2 (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.htm). (That toolkit is open source (in Delphi) and was fairly easy to tame. Full details are in the R-patched sources.) This gives a single ~10Mb file, at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/RWin/SetupR.exe The idea is that it should look very like a Windows 2000-style install, and

Hi! I am new to R. I want to install "packages" from Package Sources in the web. I follow the instruction and use the "install.packages" but no luck. Here is what I did: > install.packages(gss,"C:/R/rw1021/library", CRAN = options("CRAN"), contriburl = contrib.url("http://cran.r-project.org"),

The trailing backslash seems to be the culprit. After looking at rw1020\bin\INSTALL, I noticed $pkg =~ s/\/$//; which I assume is to strip the trailing slash from a package name before obtaining the package name and cleaning out its directory I added $pkg =~ s/\\$//; immediately after this line. Rerunning Rcmd INSTALL C:\rw1011\src\library\bqtl\ with that change seemed to work OK
