Reinstall it. Most people prefer to install it using an account with administrator privileges, but don't run the install using the "Run As Administrator" option, and don't re-run the install if windows suggests doing that. Install libraries locally (%HOMEPATH%\R\win-library\2.13 should be the default in this configuration). If you need to update base libraries you will need to run RGui as administrator (right-click to get the popup menu with this option), but you should update all other libraries first without the run as administrator option. (This makes getting a new version of R configured quicker too, since you can copy the old installed per user libraries to the new directory and run update.libraries () at the R prompt.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....

When they run it, it always requests an administrator password and the icon has the shield on it that indicates it needs to run in Admin mode. I went back to my student computer lab and it has 2.12.0 and it runs fine without running as admin. I then downloaded 2.12.2 on to their system and it runs fine without needing Admin privs. What has changed in 2.13.0 to always need admin to run. Is this a bug? I looked around for some settings to allow this version to run as non-admin, but couldn't find anything. Anyone have suggestions to get 2.13.0 working on win7 x32? Thanks. -wes _____________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
