It works for me on R 2.0.1 and Windows XP (and also R-devel).

That message is seen very occasionally and usually indicates a Windows file-system problem: it used to happen more with Win98 than with 2000/XP.

Both / and \ are legal and interchangeable in Windows paths, so that is a red herring.

I rarely use Windows, so perhaps this is a question for r-help but I don't think so.

Two packages in the bundle installed ok, but tframe did not. I'm not sure why there is a backslash after the first library and nowhere else.
Is this a user error or a bug?

A bug in Windows.
