I see the same error here.  This is something for the package
maintainer to address.

Looks like you have recent versions of things.

I tried this same thing and see an error message that estrogen.txt is
not the correct format as it does not contain a FileName header or
some such.

I tried modifying the headers in estrogen.txt but even with FileName
as a header, I still received the same error message?!

I'm not sure what to suggest at this point other than contacting the
package maintainer.  The detail you've provided should be enough for
someone more familiar with the affylmGUI package to help sort things
out.

Best,
