Hi I bump on errors during install.packages(path2zoo.tar.gz,repos=null,type="source")
It installs some other packages while trying out zoo ("zoo_1.7-14.tar.gz") produces the following error
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/savvas/Documents/R/win-library/3.3’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified) * installing source package 'zoo' ... ** package 'zoo' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked ** libs

there appears the same problem if i install from command line r.exe cmd install "path2zoo.tar.gz"
any ideas?
the problem lies with r version. it must be set to R-3.3.2 . when r-3.3.3 is used zoo,forecast and possibly other packages remain stubbornly uninstallable from an off-line source
