For example in the help pages, the manuals, the FAQ, and some R News
article in the R Help Desk.
Anyway, you simply want to say
install.packages("lpSolve")
to get a copy installed from CRAN or
install.packages("C:/Path/to/Zip/File/Package_Version.zip", repos = NULL)
to install a binary package you already got on your harddisk.

Dear Sara, It looks to me as if there are three problems here: (1) Is the zip file for the package really at "c:/ProgramFiles/R/rw2011/library/lpSolve_1.1.9"? That is, isn't there a space in "Program Files"? (2) You have to specify repos=NULL to install from a local zip file, as ?install.packages tells you. (3) You don't seem to be using the destdir argument correctly; you can omit it. Why not avoid all this and just use the R for Windows menus: Packages -> Install package(s) from local zip files? I hope this helps, John -------------------------------- John Fox Department of Sociology McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario Canada L8S 4M4 905-525-9140x23604 http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox --------------------------------

Or maybe use the user-friendly menu entry "Install package from local ZIP file" in the Packages menu??
