[R] zip package

[John Fox]

Dear Sara,

It looks to me as if there are three problems here: (1) Is the zip file for
the package really at "c:/ProgramFiles/R/rw2011/library/lpSolve_1.1.9"? That
is, isn't there a space in "Program Files"? (2) You have to specify
repos=NULL to install from a local zip file, as ?install.packages tells you.
(3) You don't seem to be using the destdir argument correctly; you can omit
it.

Why not avoid all this and just use the R for Windows menus: Packages ->
Install package(s) from local zip files?

I hope this helps,
 John
