'install package(s) from local zip files': what is the syntax for that?

Dear all, if I want to install a package in windows system then generally I
use the 'install package(s) from local zip files' from the 'package' menu.
However I am interested to know that whether there is any syntax which I can
use in the R console instead. I have tried with
install.packages("__package_name", repos = 'f:/"), however could not.
Let me read ?install.packages for you:
The description of the first argument tells us:
"If repos = NULL, a character vector of file paths of ?.zip? files
containing binary builds of packages."
Hence
install.packages("f:/__package_name", repos = NULL)
seems to be more appropriate here.
