Dear R-help mailing list memebers, I encountered the following error, and I'd be happy for ideas on how to fix it:
# using R 3.0.1 on Windows 7: exe_URL = 'http://pandoc.googlecode.com/files/pandoc-1.11.1.msi' exe_filename <- file.path(tempdir(), file.name.from.url(exe_URL)) download.file(exe_URL, destfile = exe_filename, mode = "w", method= "internal") ### output error : trying URL 'http://pandoc.googlecode.com/files/pandoc-1.11.1.msi' Content type 'Composite Document File V2 Document, corrupt: Can't read SAT; charset=binary' length 5799936 bytes (5.5 Mb) opened URL downloaded 5.5 Mb ### another error: And then when I try to execute the file (it is a windows installer), I get the error: "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installer package." Downloading the file manually and running it does work. Any suggestions? Thanks. ----------------Contact Details:------------------------------------------------------- Contact me: tal.gal...@gmail.com | Read me: www.talgalili.com (Hebrew) | www.biostatistics.co.il (Hebrew) | www.r-statistics.com (English) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
