Thank you for response Uwe. I tried multiple times by downloading the zip
file from many sources but still the same error. This is a major road block
for me in using R. Appreciate any help on this.
Please ask your local IT staff.
I get, using the same mirror:
> options("repos"=c(CRAN="http://watson.nci.nih.gov/cran_mirror";))
> install.packages("XML", lib="d:/temp")

Upon receiving this error, I downloaded XML_3.98-1.1.zip directly from
cran
site. But this zip file is not a valid archive (cannot open using winzip).
Also trying to install using this downloaded file produces the following
error:
Installing package into 'C:/Users/APandya/Documents/R/win-library/3.0'
(as 'lib' is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
error 1 in extracting from zip file
Warning in install.packages :

Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection
I downloaded this zip file from multiple sources and tried to install
with
same result.
