.mpkg not recognized
If you don't have Installer.app in /Applications/Utilities then indeed you cannot open mpkg files. If you do have it, then your LaunchServices database is broken -- try dropping the mpkg on Installer.app

Hi Folks, I can't install any R binaries any more, and have always done so in the past. The problem seems to be that my Mac no longer recognizes .mpkg i.e. doesn't know how to open it. I cannot find anything called Apple Installer on my machine (if I am supposed to have/see that...)? My machine details follow. Any and all thoughts are appreciated.
