I am also using statConn so I will let you know if I hear anything new.

Hello Kevin,
Thank you. I will delete the folder and run an application called
CCleaner (free). That will remove all the broken registry entries.
There should be a problem free update path for R installation. As
you rightfully mentioned the R- manual is not clear about package update
issues. I received many helpful suggestions on the update path but some of
the them were contradictory in the order of steps to be taken. I am also
using statConn (DCOM) interface for programming. So my problems are
multifold. I will compile the answers I received on the R version update
issue and publish them so that that the experts could put them into more
effective use.
Sincerely,
Cem

I don't know if it was correct but I just removed the directory and then
searched and removed all instances in the registry that referred to 2.13.1
(in my case searching for this seemed to only return references to 'R'). I
have since been given some links that address specific registry entries but
I haven't had any problem yet with my 'slash and burn' approach. It removed
it from the 'Install/Uninstall' list with windows so it seems to have be
removed and the disk space that 2.13.2 took up has been reclaimed.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you find any more definitive answers.
Thanks.
Kevin

Hello Kevin,
I am getting the same error "utCompiledCode..." since I installed
R2.14 while R2.13 existed. How did you get rid of R2.13 eventually? Did you
just delete it? If so, how did you clean the registry?
Thank you,
Cem

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:
