Update VR_7.1-6
I have explained that on R-help earlier today (and when VR_7.1-4 was announced). Please look back a few hours in the R-help postings.

The update of VR by downloading VR_7.1-6.zip and using install.packages (from local zip files) fails with the following error message: Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: cannot open file `VR/DESCRIPTION' Other packages can be installed without problems, except of dse_2003.4-1 with a similar error message. Why?
Because VR and dse are bundles and someone broke the installation of bundles in R 1.7.0 on Windows. You can download and unzip the zip files in rw1070/library.
