Hello Deepak,

first, a few comments. Attachments aren't accepted to the  
BioConductor list and are stripped. Therefore, please always provide  
the code you used and the error messages you got in the actual email.  
Also, always include the output of sessionInfo(), so people on the  
list can see whether the error you get is related to your R an/or  
package version.

The commands you include in your file are:

 > all.R.commands <- system.file("doc", "HTqPCR.Rnw", package =  
"HTqPCR")
 > Stangle(all.R.commands)

Writing to file HTqPCR.R

 > ls("package:HTqPCR")

Error in as.environment(pos) :

   no item called "package:HTqPCR" on the search list



Don't forget that every time you want to use a package, you have to  
load it with library(). Just having it installed in R is not  
sufficient, so in you case you need library(HTqPCR).



 > path <- d:\("HTqPCR\tlda", package="HTqPCR")

Error: unexpected input in "path <- d:\"

This gives an error, so you haven't actually changed the path! This  
is why it still reads in the default data. Also, unless you've  
actually put your data in the folder where HTqPCR is installed from  
(bad idea), you just need the path itself. You have your d:\ outside  
the quotes, so you'll need something like:

path <- "d:\HTqPCR\tlda"

In general, warnings messages are just for your information, but when  
you get an error message from a command you tried to run, this means  
it didn't work! Just continuing as if nothing happened is bound to  
make things fail further down the line, or give you unwanted results.
