Thanks for your suggestion, Martin.

I tried your code in cmd. Then get another error: Invalid  DESCRIPTION File.

Keith told me to check if the "maintainer" is in correct style as " NAME <
email >" in the description file.
Then I found the "maintainer" I set is "myname@myemail ", which has no "<>"
in it. SO I corrected it.

Then, run the code you gave to me in cmd. It works well. So the AnnBuilder
generated package only can be installed in cmd instead of as .zip.

I am happy to see it works. Thank you.
