Hi Folks,
Installer.app is not on that machine. I cannot imagine what happened  
to it. I will get a new copy. THANK YOU!

FWIW: it this case you can probably still use the command-line  
version. It can be used like this:

sudo installer -pkg R.mpkg -target /

Yes, it should be
/Application/Utilities/Installer.app

If you don't have it, that's definitely bad. Possibly you can pull it  
off the OS X Installation CD - it's living in /Application/Utilities  
there as well (directly in the root of the CD) - just drag it to your  
disk. Also try to look in your Trash.

Cheers,
Simon

If you don't have Installer.app in /Applications/Utilities then
indeed you cannot open mpkg files. If you do have it, then your
LaunchServices database is broken -- try dropping the mpkg on
Installer.app
