It's due to a change in how the annotation packages are being built that 
hasn't been completely resolved as yet. A simple solution is to paste 
the following code in your R session after you have attached the 
mgu74av2 annotation package.


files <- scan(file.path(.path.package("mgu74av2"),"data","filelist"), 
what="character")
files <- as.list(sub("\\.rda$", "", files[-1]))
myEnv <- as.environment("package:mgu74av2")
data(list = files, envir = myEnv)

Then you should be able to proceed as normal.

HTH,

Jim
