I would like to thank everyone for their help here... I've been trying to find this file for a while (as I do not have a permanent internet connection and would have to download the file before I ran the installer).
The URL given by AG has been very helpful, and I've finally got the file. I would recommend that instead of people sending emails to those of us who cannot find these things which go along the idea of "just install the installer, it'll tell you!" that they actually bother to just say thr URL. This would have stopped this thread (possibly) a long time ago, instead of wasting bandwidth. For those who missed the URL the first time (mailing lists can be a little slow sometimes filtering through to people...), it's listed below, along with a little warning (hey, no-one bothered to mention to me before this person that r-player g2 was alpha!). Again, thanx for the information, Peter Ludwig BTW - I can RTFM as some people have suggested... why do you think I asked for extra information?
