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

        Thanks Uwe. Actually, the problem persists in R-3.2.1.

        If it helps, the .zip file is here:

    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".

        Thank you,

                 Hello,

                 I've built a windows binary package from my Mac using
        the help
                 from this
                 site: http://win-builder.r-project.org

                 As expected, I got back the file "mypackage.zip". 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:

                 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.
