I am trying to run MLWIN within R. I have used an example put
together by the developers of the package (R2MLwiN) but get an error
message that I cant figure out. Really appreciate a hand

I get the following message:

Cannot find worksheet: Settings/Temp/RtmpYpbSae/macrofile_103829e77324.txt
Cannot find macro: C:/DOCUME~1/mcfaddena/Local
Execution completed
Error in read.dta(IGLSfile) :

  I'm going to take a guess that you're having a problem with
file paths containing spaces, but it's really going to be hard
for me to tell since I don't have MLwiN installed.  I would suggest:
(1) contacting the package maintainer and (2) if you have the
expertise, trying the usual R debugging tricks [?traceback,
?browser, options(error=recover)] to see where the problem is.
