Hi I have R 1.6.2 and use WinEdt as a text editor. I
have just upgraded to R 1.8.0 but can't set up the
SWinRegistry program. Using the recommended "Install
packages from local zip files" menu option I get
install.packages("C:/R/SWinRegistry_0.3-2_binary.zip",
.libPaths()[1], CRAN = NULL)
Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection
In addition: Warning message: cannot open file
`SWinRegistry_0.3-2_binary/DESCRIPTION'
However the same zip file works fine with the old R 1.6.2...
install.packages("C:/R/SWinRegistry_0.3-2_binary.zip", .libPaths()[1], CRAN = NULL) updating HTML package descriptions
Is this a bug?
Thanks in advance Dave
There is a convention for names of binary packages, and currently SWinRegistry does not fullfill this convention (the maintainer of SWinRegistry promised to fix that for all Omegahat binaries). Therefore the ReadMe.txt for the package RWinEdt, which you are obviously using, tells you:
At the time of writing "SWinRegistry_0.3-2_binary.zip" is the current binary version, which has to be renamed to, e.g., "SWinRegistry_0.3-2.zip", because the second underscore is not allowed for package installation.
Please read the ReadMe completely.
