[BioC] SimpleAffy: problem with Yeast Genome 2.0 Array

I'm trying to use SimpleAffy with four Yeast Genome 2.0 Array GeneChips.

When I ran my R script the first time, the needed cdf file seemed to be
installed automatically:

Now when I run the lines from my script manually, I seem to be stuck getting
the "qc" command to recognize the Yeast Genome 2.0 Array:

>  x <- read.affy("SimpleAffy.txt",path=CELpath)
>  x.mas5 <- call.exprs(x, "mas5")

>  x.qc   <- qc(x, x.mas5)

Can anyone suggest what I should do to get around this problem?

Thanks in advance for any help.
