Dear All,
this may be a trivial problem. A collaborator has created an R package for
internal use (not available on CRAN). This installs and works fine on my Mac
but fails to install on windows.
When I install the packagein windows by browing and pointing to the .zip file I
get the following error:

Those are not errors, they are just notes to let you know where it was
installed.
However if I install a package from CRAN (e.g. deSolve) the same warning
appears initially - but it continues and installs the package with no problems:
> install.packages("deSolve")

You haven't shown us any error, but if the package doesn't work, it
might be because it wasn't built properly. A .zip file that works on a
Mac is unlikely to also work on Windows: Windows uses the .zip
extension for *binary* installs.
