[BioC] VariantAnnotation error with readVcf in Windows 7

[Valerie Obenchain]

Hello,

The error indicates a problem with the arguments supplied to readVcf(). 
You can discover available methods with showMethods(),

 > showMethods("readVcf")
Function: readVcf (package VariantAnnotation)
file="character", genome="character", param="missing"
file="character", genome="character", param="ScanVcfParam"
file="character", genome="missing", param="missing"
file="TabixFile", genome="character", param="GRanges"
file="TabixFile", genome="character", param="GRangesList"
file="TabixFile", genome="character", param="missing"
file="TabixFile", genome="character", param="RangedData"
file="TabixFile", genome="character", param="RangesList"
file="TabixFile", genome="character", param="ScanVcfParam"

What does your 'param' object look like? From above you can see it must 
be a 'GRanges', 'GrangesList', 'missing', etc. ...
