Yes, the User into which I logged in before launching RGui is an
Administrator. Correct, the problem is not limited to Bioconductor packages.

Neither biocLite nor the GUI menus can install packages on my system.
This is probably a permissions problem. Are you running R as an
administrator when you try the install? If not, you won't be able to
install to the default location, but you should be able to set up your
own library somewhere else, and install there.
The error message should be fixed; we shouldn't give
Error in if (ok) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
but I doubt if that's the source of your problem.
BTW, in future Bioconductor questions should go to their list. In
this case it looks as though it's not a BioC problem, but that just
means there's no need to list all the biocLite.R material at the
start: short simple bug reports are easier to deal with.
