Thanks again Uwe. I haven't renamed the file, only in the text sent to R-help. Here's the error again I'm getting. Sorry, this s a bit frustrating...
No idea. Perhaps the down load failed? Can you open the file using some zip software and extract the DESCRIPTION file?
Best, Uwe Ligges
Thanks, Axel Error in read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning messages: 1: In unzip(zipname, exdir = dest) : error 1 in extracting from zip file 2: In read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) : cannot open compressed file 'calibr/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory' > On Tue, Jun 16, 2015 at 10:18 AM, Uwe Ligges <lig...@statistik.tu-dortmund.de <mailto:lig...@statistik.tu-dortmund.de>> wrote: On 16.06.2015 15:16, Axel Urbiz wrote: Thanks Uwe. Actually, the problem persists in R-3.2.1. If it helps, the .zip file is here: http://win-builder.r-project.org/yC8eUu09w3Ui/ Works for me, but your error message is: "cannot open compressed file 'mypackage/DESCRIPTION'" which suggests you renamed the file? You must not do that, just keep the filename "calibr_0.0.0.9000.zip". Best, Uwe Ligges Thank you, Axel.

Also, the logs show no errors. No, you got a file packagename_version.zip. Now, when I try to install on windows using the GUI "install package(s) from local zip files", I get the following error: utils:::menuInstallLocal() Error in read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning messages: 1: In unzip(zipname, exdir = dest) : error 1 in extracting from zip file 2: In read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) : cannot open compressed file 'mypackage/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory' I've attempted to use the solutions from prior similar email threats with no success. Btw - I've install all the packages dependencies prior to the above. I'm on R 3.2.0. please try the release condadate of R-3.2.1, R-3.2.0 had a bug for package installation from local zip files. Best, Uwe Ligges Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you. Axel.
