Dear all,
Upon following the instructions for ReadMe installation on Windows outlined in the "ReadMe: Software for Automated Content Analysis" I still seem to have problems.
I have installed R to C:\Program Files (x86)\R\R-2.10.1
and Python to C:\Program Files (x86)\Python
> install.packages("ReadMe", repos= "http://gking.harvard.edu", type="source")

When I tried to use the R pull-down menu commands for installing the ReadMe package from the ReadMe_0.996.tar file located at C:\Users\Kristian\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmp90Xqd1\downloaded_packages, I got the following screen:
> utils:::menuInstallLocal()
Error in gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In unzip(zipname, exdir = dest) : error 1 in extracting from zip file
2: In gzfile(file, "r") :
cannot open compressed file 'ReadMe_0.996.tar.gz/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory'

Any insights would be greatly appreciated,
Sincerely,
Kristian
