It sounds like you simply uncompressed your .tar.gz file and then zipped it up. If so, it should not work correctly.

You need to compile it for windows. Try something like
        
        Rcmd build --binary myRpackageDir

and you may need to include "--force" option in the command above.

Also check to make sure the R version in the machine you compile on and the machine you install on are recent versions.

Hi,

I'm working on a package and got some problems. After I've done R CMD check
and build I get the package.tar.gz which I can install under Linux without
any problems. Now I wanted to have a Windows version. I heard that I only
have to zip the package folder. That worked once, but now the package can't
be installed. I got 1 warning while I did R CMD check, and this was 1 not
documented dataset, but it was also already in the old version that worked.
So is there anything I have to take care of for the Windows version? Or is
there a way to check what happend. The error message in Windows is this:

utils:::menuInstallLocal()
updating HTML package descriptions
library(mask)
Error in library(mask) :
  'mask' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0?

Can anybody help me with this?

Michael
