Hi, 

I can't download WGCNA on Windows. 

When I use command:

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite(c("AnnotationDbi", "impute", "GO.db", "preprocessCore"))
install.packages("WGCNA")

I get following error:

> source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")

A new version of Bioconductor is available after installing the most recent version of R; see

Please advice. Thanks for your help!

I'm not exactly sure of the details, but I think you could map the network drive (google led me to here, but there might be better instructions) where R is installed, and launch R from the mounted drive rather than the network location. Then try the problematic command

BiocInstaller::biocLite("GO.db")
