Subject: [Rd] Package Installation in RGui (PR#7262)
In-Reply-To: <6.0.0.22.2.20050311125955.01dec310@mail.med.usyd.edu.au>
References: <6.0.0.22.2.20050311125955.01dec310@mail.med.usyd.edu.au>

I think this is a FAQ, hence not appropriate on ANY mailing list:

Please read a) The R for Windows FAQs, Section (currently 3.8) 
"update.packages() fails" and b) note that VR is a package bundle, hence 
nothing dubious if library(VR) fails. Also, if package MASS has been 
loaded, you cannot update the VR bundle.
