[R] SWinRegistry & R 1.8.0

[David Pleydell]

Hi 
I have R 1.6.2 and use WinEdt as a text editor.  I
have just upgraded to R 1.8.0 but can't set up the
SWinRegistry program.  Using the recommended "Install
packages from local zip files" menu option I get

>
install.packages("C:/R/SWinRegistry_0.3-2_binary.zip",
.libPaths()[1], CRAN = NULL)
Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection
In addition: Warning message: 
cannot open file
`SWinRegistry_0.3-2_binary/DESCRIPTION' 

However the same zip file works fine with the old R
1.6.2...

>
install.packages("C:/R/SWinRegistry_0.3-2_binary.zip",
.libPaths()[1], CRAN = NULL)
updating HTML package descriptions

Is this a bug? 

Thanks in advance
Dave
