[R] <RBloomberg Package Problem>

[Shubha Vishwanath Karanth]

Hello Experts,
This is error I get in downloading RDCOMClient... 

/**************************/
> install.packages("RDCOMClient",
+                     repos = "http://www.omegahat.org/R")
Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://www.omegahat.org/R/bin/windows/contrib/2.4
Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available =
available,  : 
         no package 'RDCOMClient' at the repositories

/***************************/

I also tried to download it via the local zip folders using the site
which gives it namely, http://www.omegahat.org/RDCOMClient/

But was unsuccessful...

Please help me ASAP...

Thanks in advance..

The RDCOMClient is available from a different repository

   http://www.omegahat.org/R

You can include it in the list of repositories being
searched on Windows using the Packages menu in the R GUI
and then select the entry Select repositories
and include Omegahat in the selection.
Or just install RDCOMClient manually
   install.packages("RDCOMClient",
                    repos = "http://www.omegahat.org/R")

and then install RBloomberg as before.
