Dear Uwe, Here is the updated code and error massage I get: exe_URL = 'http://pandoc.googlecode.com/files/pandoc-1.11.1.msi' exe_filename <- file.path(tempdir(), basename(exe_URL)) download.file(exe_URL, destfile = exe_filename, mode = "wb", method= "internal") ############# ### Error massage: 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
I still don't see a problem when executing the installer, it is just a message that the content type cannot be read appropriately.
Best, Uwe Ligges
1) I am very sorry about the chipped previous massage (it is a side effect of some form of "reply" in gmail, which I have not noticed before). 2) I'm sorry about using the wrong function name - it comes with the "installr" package, since I have it running on startup, I was blind to see the code was not standard. Also, now that I know such a function exists in base R, I will move to using it.

I had to look for the original one now. And then I found that code was not reproducible for me: exe_URL = 'http://pandoc.googlecode.com/__files/pandoc-1.11.1.msi <http://pandoc.googlecode.com/files/pandoc-1.11.1.msi>' exe_filename <- file.path(tempdir(), file.name.from.url(exe_URL)) Error in file.path(tempdir(), file.name.from.url(exe_URL)) : could not find function "file.name.from.url" and I do not know such a function. From its name I can guess basename(exe_URL) is the base function that does the trick. So please specify full and reproducible code that shows the error, including and does not contain any additional quirks like the mode="w".... Anyway, the installer works for me downloaded with the method I indicated before.

The code I pasted had mode ="w", since that is one of the versions I've played with (which also does not work).
