Dear R experts...
I would really appreciate your suggestions in installing a package in
Windows Vista...

I am unable to install a package on a windows vista based computer, in spite
of running it as an administrator. The package "xpose4.2.1" is available
from "
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xpose/files/Xpose4/Xpose_4.2.1/xpose4_4.2.1_win32.zip/download
"

Following is the error message when I try to install the package from the
Rgui command line...
I get similar errors when I try to install the packages from Rgui ("Packages
| Install packages from local zip files") menu, but with default
lib="C:/Users/santosh/Documents/R/win-library/2.11"
.
>
install.packages("C:/Users/santosh/Downloads/xpose4_4.2.1_win32.zip",repos=NULL,lib="C:/Program
Files/R/R-2.11.1/library")
Error in gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In gzfile(file, "r") :
  cannot open compressed file 'xpose4_4.2.1_win32/DESCRIPTION', probable
reason 'No such file or directory'

However, I see "fileXXXXXXXX" folder in which the library related folders
are installed..

Thanks again,
Santosh
