[R] VR package not found for R version 1.9.1
I'm trying to install the VR package for version 1.9.1 but I'm getting the following error message: install.packages(VR) trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/1.9/PACKAGES' Content type `text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1' length 20716 bytes opened URL downloaded 20Kb trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/1.9/VR_7.2-11.zip' Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = wb) : cannot open URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/1.9/VR_7.2-11.zip' In addition: Warning message: cannot open: HTTP status was `404 Not Found' Any workarounds?

The problem is that sometimes the automatic updater at CRAN deletes an old version, then fails to download the update. The workarounds are to wait a day or two, to try a different version of R (version 2.0.1 succeeds in getting VR now), or to build the package from source (which requires a number of tools to be installed; see R for Windows FAQ 3.1 Can I install packages into libraries in this version? for details).

Well, this time *my* scripts are the culprit (CRAN has mirrored very well)! The VR bundle should not appear in the PACKAGES file, because recent versions of VR do not work with old versions of R. See http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/checkSummaryWin.html and find that the last good binary version for R-1.9.x can be downloaded manually.
