Dear Tobias, To create the etc subdirectory in the installed package, or in the Windows binary package .zip file, you need an inst/etc subdirectory in the package source tree. That is, etc should be a subdirectory of inst. This isn't peculiar to Rcmdr plug-in packages but is true of any package that uses a non-standard subdirectory or file. See the Writing R Extensions manual for details.
