Hello,
  I just downloaded the MareyMap: an R-based tool and followed the
instructions:
Option1: Click "Packages-Install package(s) from local zip files", it showed
the followed error messages:
> utils:::menuInstallLocal()
Error in read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) : 
  cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) :
  cannot open compressed file 'MareyMap/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No
such file or directory'
Option2:
install.packages("D:/Program_Install/MareyMap/MareyMap.zip",repos=NULL,type="win.binary"),
it still showed the same error message.
  Did anyone know how to solve this problem?
  Thanks in advance.
