as I understand ,you are working on . last xts version(0.7-6.11) is not available for Windows ,and I am unable

do that myself ;I need only an old version of Blotter(7.?) which could
be
used with xts( 0.7-5),the last release compatible with windows (7) Is it possible ?
You have a few options: 1> download the latest Windows build of xts from R-Forge: https://r-forge.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/latest/xts_0.7-6.11.zip then you should be able to install blotter. Not clear why/if you didn't try this already? (reproducible examples and all that...) This lists "PAGE NOT FOUND", and the build log indicates that the cygwin environment on the windows build host might be broken. So this option might be retitled: wait till the Windows build environment for R-Forge is working again. 2> download Rtools and compile the packages from source yourself http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ This is probably the best option overall, as it makes you independently capable of building Windows R packages, especially when combined with a Windows SVN client like TortoiseSVN. 3> reply to this message as to why 1> or 2> won't work, and I or some other kind soul on this list might build xts, quantmod, FinancialInstrument, and blotter for you as binary Windows packages. I won't have time until next week, at the earliest. I personally only have 64 bit Windows build environment available. Regards, - Brian
