I'm working with R Version 3.3.0 where the most installed packages have the versions 3.3.0, 3.3.2, 3.3.3.
Unfortunately, it seems that I have overwritten the MASS package with the actual version.

I needed the "vars" package and therefore a newer mass version was required. Now I'd like to reestablish the old mass package again.

Is there a solution to this problem? At present I do not want to update all the packages to actual versions as I'm not sure about the consequences...

Here is the Error Message when trying to install an older version...

Thank you! Tobias

under https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib the relevant old versions can be found, which worked for Windows. Regards, Tobias
