Hello! I've just installed R 2.11.1 on my new home PC. Just the base R. My PC has Windows 7. R was installed in C / Program Files (x86) / R - R-2.11.1
Then - through the menue - I went to Update packages, chose the mirror and R detected the few packages that needed to be updated. After I clicked on OK I got the following error message: > update.packages(ask='graphics') --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Warning in install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl = contriburl, : 'lib = "C:/PROGRA~2/R/R-211~1.1/library"' is not writable Error in install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl = contriburl, : unable to install packages I've tried several times, then uninstalled R and reinstalled it. Same problem. Can it be because R is installed in Program Files (x86) and not in Program Files (I have both folders)?
