[R] XML package not working

[CEO'Riley]

I'm running the same os system and same r version.  Only difference I see in
Sys.info() is that login, user, and effective_user  on my machine is all are
of the same case.  Your display shows login as upper case.  I'm not even
sure if that would make a difference.


With gratitude,
CEO'Riley Jr.
Charles Ellis O'Riley Jr.

Ambition is a state of permanent dissatisfaction with the present

My apologies for not conforming to the posting guideline.


Sys.info()
                     sysname                      release
version 
                   "Windows"                      "7 x64" "build 7601,
Service Pack 1" 
                    nodename                      machine
login 
           "xxxxxxNU247BZ1S"                     "x86-64"
"XXXXXX" 
                        user               effective_user 
                   "xxxxxxx"                    "xxxxxxx"

When I attempt to install a local copy of the xml.zip file:

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 'XML/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such
file or directory'

package.  Can someone help me either access the source for a good binary?  I
have received no assistance from the author/developer of the package.

It installs fine for me.
