The reviewer needs to follow the standard installation instructions at

  http://bioconductor.org/install/index.html

and evaluate the commands

  source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
  biocLite("IsoGeneGUI")

otherwise they will not get the dependencies. This also requires that
they have an appropriate version of R installed, e.g., R-2.12.1. The
error 1. (use unzip on the file) is not expected to work; 2. might be
expected to work but only if the reviewer has not made any mistakes. The
error 'cannot open connection' suggests that the reviewer has made a
mistake.
