Subject: [Rd] Me or a bug? Package Install does not unzip (PR#14026)
Message-ID: <20091027071013.7DC90282EFFB@mail.pubhealth.ku.dk>

Today I installed R 2.10.0


1. I try to download maptools again.
2. Downloads to a temp subdirectory somewhere.
  
 > utils:::menuInstallPkgs()
trying URL 
'http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/bin/windows/contrib/2.10/maptools_0.7-26.zip'
Content type 'application/zip' length 1038205 bytes (1013 Kb)
opened URL
downloaded 1013 Kb

package 'maptools' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

The downloaded packages are in
        C:\Documents and Settings\Jim Burke\Local 
Settings\Temp\RtmpaNjPrZ\downloaded_packages


3. Does NOT automatically invoke the zip file. Does NOT unzip.


My zip program is jZip.
When I click on a zip suffixed file, it brings up the jZip program.
So file associations are OK.


Thanks for any suggestions,
Jim Burke
