Dear there,
I tried today within my R 1.7.0 under Windows XP the command
update.packages()
and then I answered y in all subsequent questions.
From the software responses I understood that everythin went OK from VR to Rcmdr, but in survival it said
Are you sure you used R-1.7.0 for Windows? Installing package bundles like VR failed in that version, AFAIK. So the first recommendation is: Update to R-1.7.1.
Error in file(filem "r") : unable to open connection
Should read: Error in file(file, "r") : ....
Maybe an error has occured during the download? Does the error occur again when you try install.packages("survival") ?
My guess: It's not survival but VR which fails. Attention: The installation starts after download of *all* packages has finished.
Please read http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/1.7/ReadMe.

So I wonder, what I might have done wrong? Could you please help me?
This may be a Windows specific issue. Can you pls ask on the r-help mailing list?
Regards, -kh
Regards Kurt Neumann
