Neither biocLite nor the GUI menus can install packages on my system.
This is probably a permissions problem. Are you running R as an
administrator when you try the install? If not, you won't be able to
install to the default location, but you should be able to set up your
own library somewhere else, and install there.
The error message should be fixed; we shouldn't give
Error in if (ok) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
but I doubt if that's the source of your problem.
BTW, in future Bioconductor questions should go to their list. In this
case it looks as though it's not a BioC problem, but that just means
there's no need to list all the biocLite.R material at the start: short
simple bug reports are easier to deal with.
