Thanks for the help. I have a reason to continue with R-3.0.3. I used
maxLik to estimate econometric models and some of them are better
handled with R-3.0.3 (but not later)----a sad reality I do not like.
Here is what I did. I downloaded
https://cran-archive.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/aod_1.3.zip
and installed the zip file, which worked in both RStudio and R (without
RStudio).
In RStudio, I go Tools -> Install packages -> Install from -> (Choose
zip) -> (Browse to the zip file)
IN R, I go Packages -> Install packages from local file(s) -> (Browse to
the zip file)...
Below is the command line generated and the prompt.
> install.packages("C:/Users/USER/Downloads/aod_1.3.zip", repos = NULL,
type = "win.binary")
package ‘aod’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
I will always be able to download the proper .zip file from CRAC
Archive, right. So, this will always work for me? Thank you all !! If
there are more direct options that work, I would still be interested to
know.

Don't choose a mirror. That will override the repos choice.
Do update R to a current version if you aren't able to debug this
yourself.

Sorry Gentlemen and all. Now this is becoming a joke (to me). I repeated
what I did earlier, with and without the option to set repos suggested
by Duncan. Now it does not work. I wonder whether it is dependent on the
mirror I chose, but I do not remember the one I chose earlier when it
work.
I need your help, gentlemen, as I need to use R-3.0.3 for my task.

Okay, so it's not an RStudio issue. However, I'd guess setting
options(repos = "https://cran-archive.r-project.org";)
at the start of your session could make everything work. (I'm
guessing you currently have it set to "http://cran.rstudio.com";, which
is the source of the last warning below, probably due to an R bug.
But since you're using an obsolete version of R, it shouldn't surprise
you that it has bugs that nobody else is seeing.)

Thanks. You gentlemen please tell me what this means. In R (outside
of RStudio) I ran:
install.packages("aod")
Received a warning (and installation did not seem to go through).
Then I tried
install.packages("aod",repos='https://cran-archive.r-project.org')
Received a warning but it went on to try
https://cran-archive.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/aod_1.3.zip
and it worked. See log below.
I expect to continue to use R-3.0.3 for a while and I very much like
this to become a routine. Thank you all.

Just remembered: RStudio runs its own wrapper around
install.packages(). Steven, you should try doing the install from
outside of RStudio, and see if it makes a difference.

He didn't specify the RStudio repos, though it's probably implicitly

looking there, when repos is given explicitly?

for reasons that's hard to explain, some of my tasks are better

Please just
help me install packages successfully with this older version

I ran the following line but obviously was not getting it

We do not hold binaries of several year old versions of R on
CRAN.
Note that R 3.0.0 is 7 years old. You shoudl realy consider to
update to 4.0.2.
