I have an installation problem; on installing MethComp either from repository

Files\R\R-3.1.2\library\MethComp’
The same occurs with other packages.
The 'obvious' reason for this is that subsequent inspection shows that there is
no temporary installation at the location given.
But R CMD INSTALL cleaned it up.
I appreciate that R is not now tested on XP as XP is no longer supported by MS,
but since I've yet to switch to Win7+ on this otherwise serviceable small
laptop and it'll be a while before I get back to my desktops, I'd appreciate
any clues as to what - if anything - I could to do in the mean time to get a
working package install.
1) Check the permissions on :\Program Files\R\R-3.1.2\library, or
perhaps better, use a separate library directory (see the rw-FAQ).
2) Switch off any anti-virus runtime checking. There is a comment in
the sources
## Move the new package to the install lib
## To avoid anti-virus interference, wait a little
Sys.sleep(0.5)
