r function unzip error 1 in extracting from zip file

Environment: Windows 7 OS RStudio Version 0.99.491

I have been programming in R for about 4 months via the Coursera Data Science curriculum, but I have NEVER been successful in using the unzip function.

I’ve looked at the forums for hours for potential solutions, syntax problems, undefined arguments, etc., but to no avail. I eventually unzip the contents manually and proceed with the assignment, but I am tired of not knowing why it is not working.

Here are a few examples of the error:

fileName <- "StormData.zip"

unzip(fileName, exdir = mainDir,subDir)

Warning message: In unzip(fileName, exdir = mainDir, subDir) : error 1 in extracting from zip file

unzip(fileName)

Warning message: In unzip(fileName) : error 1 in extracting from zip file

unzip(fileName, "stormdata.csv")

Warning message: In unzip(fileName, “stormdata.csv”) : error 1 in extracting from zip file

unzip(fileName, "stormdata.csv", list = TRUE)

Error in unzip(fileName, “stormdata.csv”, list = TRUE) : zip file ‘StormData.zip’ cannot be opened

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
