Dear all
I have tried several times to make and install an R package that i created. However, whenever i get to the last step and try to install the package i get the following error:
C:\Rtools\bin>rcmd install "C:\program files\R\R-2.9.2\bin\Test_1.0.tar.gz"
Can't open perl script "C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-29~1.2/bin/install": No such file or
directory
The name of the command is INSTALL, not install. In earlier versions of
R it was an external command and case-insensitive file systems would
accept install, but in recent versions it is internal, and R is
case-sensitive.

i have re installed and double checked everything and downloaded everything i can about how to intall
r packages.
My conclusion is that the problem is in the path that the perl script is looking for
on the web it says that dos path can be abbreviated using ~1, however what does not make sense
is the R-29~1.2
the version of R i am running is R-2.9.2 and there is a folder by that name
etc..
i do not undertand why it says abbreviated R-29~1.2.
Is this the problem and how do i correct it.
many thanks
Omar
