[BioC] HGU133atag_probe

[Lana Schaffer]

Dr. MacDonald,
I have searched the archives for Bioconductor and have found that other 
researchers
have had the same problem with getting and installing the HGU133atag probe 
file.
I have not found a satisfactory answer and have spend most of today trying 
to build
and install this particular probe file.  Perhaps our lives would be made 
easier if you
would supply us with  the hgu133atag probe.
I have successfully installed this probe file in an older version.  Now I 
have updated
to R 2.2.0 and Bioconductor 1.7 and Windows XP.  and these problems have 
begun all over again.
I need to stick to the Windows version.
filename <- system.file("extdata", 
"HG-U133A_tag_ProbeSequence_tab.gz",package = "matchprobes")
outdir <- tempdir()
me <- "Lana Schaffer "
makeProbePackage("HG-U133A_tag", datafile=gzfile(filename,open="r"), 
outdir=outdir,maintainer=me,
version="0.0.1", check=FALSE,force=TRUE)  or version="2.2.0"?
Successful!
# moved zipped C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rtmp14299/hgu133atagprobe 
to library directory
Upon installation:
#no package 'file8123' was found in: packageDescription(i, lib.loc = lib, 
field = "Title", encoding = "UTF-8")
#Error in gzfile(file, "r") : unable to open connection
#In addition: Warning messages:
#1: error -1 in extracting from zip file
#2: cannot open compressed file 'hgu133atagprobe/DESCRIPTION'

Upon trying the older probe package i built earlier:
#Error in gzfile(file, "r") : unable to open connection
#In addition: Warning messages:
#1: error -1 in extracting from zip file
#2: cannot open compressed file 'hgu133atagprobe/DESCRIPTION'
