The problem with this documentation is two-fold. One it seems to concentrate on building from source which I don't need. Two it doesn't address the upgade. I have a number of packages and so I need to do what has been suggested and install the latest version *first*. Then copy the libraries (packages). Then uninstall the previous version. It is on this last step that I am stuck on right now. The last link on uninstalling R manually was what I needed. Thank you.

Hi, Don't know if this will help you but... In my short experience and following the guidelines you should first uninstall R. http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Installing-R-under-Window s Unistall it from the Windows control panel. The old R version libraries file will be kept on machine. For example : C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.0\library Then install the new version via: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Installing-R-under-Window s You can copy/paste libraries from the old version R library file to the new one. C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.0\library There is too an function named: ?update.packagee If above was what you did, then there is a post on Uninstalling R manually: http://learnserver.csd.univie.ac.at/rcomwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:uninstalling_r _manually Regards, Jose > From: rkevinbur...@charter.net > To: r-help@r-project.org > Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2011 09:07:20 -0600 > Subject: Re: [R] Upgrade R? > > Since apparently there is no one familiar with this error message let me > rephrase the question.
