Or in short, type
install.packages("car")
within R.
Note that you won't get new versions of car for the outdated version of
R. Note also that your zip file might not fit to the R version you are
using.
Hence recommendation is to upgrade to R-2.12.0 patched (or 2.12.1 which
will be released this Thursday) and run install.packages() after the
upgrade.

Hi there,
I have the following problem and I hope somebody might help me.
First of all: I am using WinXP SP3 (english and/or german) with R in
Version 2.10.0.
Now I am trying to install some packages but unfortunately I am getting
a weird error. No matter which package I am trying to install - I nearly
get the same error.
It looks like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Program Files\R\R-2.10.0\bin>R CMD INSTALL
%SystemDrive%\rPAcsTemp\car_2.0-2.
zip
Warning in rawToChar(block[seq_len(ns)]) :
truncating string with embedded nul:
MEEEE::::::
I used to build all from source then that stopped working and I have
seen others here complain about installation failures. I have had good
luck with what others have suggested, and use install.packages()
It goes into a script ok, for example, ( note that "myR" is my
script that invokes R but you can change etc). This points to ucla
mirror, writes a script into $tf to install $pkf, installs $pkf by
running the gerated script, and then shows you the results and deletes junk
( normally you want to check error codes before deling "junk" however)
tf="$$_temp"
cat -<< DUMMTY> $tf
options(repos=c("http://cran.stat.ucla.edu";))
install.packages(c("$pkf"),dep=TRUE)
DUMMTY
echo executing
cat "$tf"
myR -run "$tf"
echo removing $tf
rm "$tf"
echo removing R output
cat "$tf".Rout
rm "$tf".Rout
