Hi, I originally had problems installing Affy on R version 2.10.1 (while learning to use Limma), read various threads on Affy installation issues and potential version incompatibilities, and decided to reinstall R from scratch, after deleting all previous versions. Now, when I follow Bioconductor installing instructions, I get the message below. > source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") > biocLite() Using R version 2.10.1, biocinstall version 2.5.10.
