Hello Experts,

I need to install an Old package of Affy in R.

I have installed affy using following commands below: source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") biocLite("affy")

This installed affy 1.48.1 version... I need 1.36.1, is it possible to install an older version?

Regards, JK

Try installing the older version of Bioconductor using

install.packages("BiocInstaller", repos="http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc")

follwed by installing the affy package.

This approach seems cleaner and easier, IF it works. In an odd case of version incompatibilities, the full installation starting from the correct R version is a way to go.

That requires some experience with R, bioconductor and lot of patience. Still it does not guaranty you will succeed. That's said, here is somebody asking the same question: https://support.bioconductor.org/p/78304/ and the answer:

Install R-2.15 and then use the normal way (biocLite()) to install packages, the correct versions will be installed.
