The packages feature of Rgui is great! However it looks the directory structure was changed for http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/, such that some the packages are now under /rw1030 (e.g., VR) and are not found by install.packages(). Thus the error message: trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/VR.zip' Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb") : cannot open: HTTP status was `404' Tom ___________________________________________________________ Tom Stockton, PhD voice: (505) 662-0707 ext 17 Neptune and Company cell: (505) 660-8591 1505 15th St. Suite B fax: (505) 662-0500 Los Alamos, NM 87544-3063 stockton@neptuneandco.com `·.,, ><(((º> www.neptuneandco.com `·.,, ><(((º> -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

Um, no, the directory structure is the same. There's just no VR.zip file in it. VR is *inside* rw1030 so why would you want to download it? If by any chance you are still using 1.2.3, packages that have become obsolete(-escent) now sit in http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/rw1023
