I downloaded the new release of the Combinatorica from
www.combinatorica.com, but i have problem installing it in my system.

My system uses window XP professional.

I tried the command: In[1] :=<<DiscreteMath'Combinatorica' at C:\
prompt, but didn't work.

Could you assist me with the procedure to install it.

Thanks,

"'" key forever.

<<DiscreteMath`Combinatorica`

Go to www.combinatorica.com and click the download link. The file
NewCombinatorica.m is displayed as a web page. Select Save Page
As... in the File menu and in the save dialog box navigate to
C:\Program Files\Wolfram
Research\Mathematica\5.0\AddOns\StandardPackages\DiscreteMath and save
the file there. Now the command <<DiscreteMath`NewCombinatorica`
works. This is how it works in Mozilla.

In Internet Explorer, choose Save As... in the file menu and save it
in the same place as above. A folder will appear there called
combinatorica_files. NewCombinatorica.m is inside it. Right-Click
combinatorica_files and select Explore. Drag the NewCombinatorica
file to the DiscreteMath folder on the left and rightclick the
combinatorica_files and select delete.

(The path is for version 5. For version 4 use the 4.0 folder)

Maybe there are other installation problems, but from what I could see at
first glance you are using the wrong accent in loading the package. It
should be the French grave accent " ` " instead of " ' ":

<<DiscreteMath`Combinatorica`
