Unfortunately this message was wrong, because everything works fine with recent versions of R, as far as we know. And all reports on Vista issues I received before were reproducible - bust just when omitting important settings under Windows Vista, such as starting with wrong privileges. Thanks to Brian Ripley and Duncan Murdoch all known facts are documented in the R for Windows FAQs and the "R Installation and Administration manual". Please note that we (this means particularly Brian Ripley and Duncan Murdoch) have tested, checked and fixed things in order to make R work smoothly under Windows Vista. Hence it is inappropriate to say that R does not work as intended on that platform without giving an example. > Can you please tell me how I can remove R software packages that I > previously contributed from your archives? Sure, please send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and Kurt will remove them. Or if you just want to remove Windows versions, I will do so. In that case, I can clean up even more things for which I spend several hours to set them up for you and the users of your packages. But before asking to remove your packages please note that all I wrote are personal opinions, not CRAN opinions (hey, I need to write a disclaimer below my messages, obviously ;-)) and I did not want to insult anybody.

Re: [Rd] Windows Vista Issues
Hi Dominick, No offence intended, but I have been running R (presently 2.5.1.patched) on a Vista (Home Basic) machine without a hitch since March 2007. Initially I had to turn off "User Account Control" to install new packages, but that was a known issue. I still run it that way, though it's not necessary anymore (to have a truly smooth R). You really don't need it switched on if you have decent anti-virus stuff &c. Regards, Mark Difford.
