unable to install packages("caret") completely in R version 3.2.3
10,086
I faced this problem as well on Windows 7. I did following steps in the sequence and it worked. a) Make sure your R version is updated latest R release 3.2.3 b) The default sources seems to be installing Unix version. So I manually downloaded https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/pbkrtest/index.html for windows c) Use manually install function from R menu to install the package.
Cheers, Ratan

So I found that there is lack of "pbkrtest" then I tried to reinstall it.

It seems like that the installation keeps failing. As a result, I couldn't use other code using caret packages.
