Dear all,
i was working under R 1.6.2 but i wanted to install bioconductor under WinXP, and because R 1.7.1 contains the TclTk package and automatic installation of bioconductor packages, so i install it.
Everything is fine except this message which appear after the installation of packages.
"> local({a<- CRAN.packages(CRAN=getOption("BIOC"))
+ install.packages(select.list(a[,1],,TRUE), .libPaths()[1], available=a, CRAN=getOption("BIOC"))})

Error in int.unzip(zipname, NULL, dest) : destination does not exist"
the function int.unzip doesn't exist in R
Yes, it does. As it name suggests, it is an internal function, called via .Internal, in this case as part of zip.unpack.
and i don't know which destination must be specified to unzip packages and install it. In fact i am doing this manually now and it works using "Load package" but i won't do this always because i have the same problem in updating these packages.
My destination directory is Program Files\\R\\rw1071\\Rwork. Could anyone tell me what to do and how to resolve this problem?
How do you know that? (It almost certainly is not: try doing a
traceback() to find out.)
My suggestion is that you re-install R in a directory without any spaces
in the path, as that is likely to be the problem. Alternatively, you
could install unzip.exe and set options("unzip").
