[R] Error in local package install

Hello,

I've built a windows binary package from my Mac using the help from this
site: http://win-builder.r-project.org

As expected, I got back the file "mypackage.zip". Also, the logs show no
errors.

Now, when I try to install on windows using the GUI "install package(s)
from local zip files", I get the following error:

> utils:::menuInstallLocal()
Error in read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type"))
:
  cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In unzip(zipname, exdir = dest) : error 1 in extracting from zip file
2: In read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) :
  cannot open compressed file 'mypackage/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No
such file or directory'

I've attempted to use the solutions from prior similar email threats with
no success. Btw - I've install all the packages dependencies prior to the
above. I'm on R 3.2.0.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Axel.
