[BioC] problems intalling bioconductor on windows NT

[James MacDonald]

I believe you need R 1.7.1beta because there are some bugs in 1.7.0

Hi,
 
I have succesfully installed bioconductor under MacOSx. By trying to do
the same under win NT for someone else, I get the following message:
 
> source("C:/WINNT/Profiles/Administrator/Desktop/getBioC.R")
> getBioC(libName="All")
Running getBioC version 1.2.34....
If you encounter problems, first make sure that
you are running the latest version of getBioC()
which can be found at: www.bioconductor.org/getBioC.R 
Please direct any concerns or questions to
bioconductor at stat.math.ethz.ch.
[1] "Installing reposTools ..."
Error in upDatePkgs(relLevel, PLATFORM, destdir, method = method) : 
        Failed to install package reposTools
In addition: Warning messages: 
1: downloaded length 932996 != reported length 5348600 
2: error 1 in extracting from zip file 
 
The R vesion was installed 1/2 hour ago and is 1.7.0. The version of
getBioC was also freshly downloaded. Note also that there is another
version (1.5.1) installed. Should I remove it maybe? 
 
Thank you very much in advance.
