A final followup. I have identified a rather extreme workaround. The
problem arises when the function utils:::unpackPkgZip uses file.rename(...)
to move the unzipped binary package from the temporary directory that it
was unpacked into into the proper directory in the library tree. If one does
debug(utils:::unpackPkgZip)
and then steps through the function line by line, it works.
Then check your virus scanner ot the speed of IO if this is a remote
file system.

Thank you.

OK - so I followed the following steps, which I think rule out those causes
1) I uninstalled all remaining versions of R, and then deleted all the
directories in c:\progra~1\R
2) I restarted the computer
3) I installed 2.14.2, and attempted to install the Rcmdr package. Same
error message for both the cars package and the Rcmdr package.
4) I then exited and confirmed that I have write permission to
C:\progra~1\R\R-2.14.2\libraries both by looking at the permissions, and by
creating a directory in there. I appear to have full control, and I could
create the directory. note that R is able to create the temporary directory
to install the package, but not the correct, final directory.
5) I then uninstalled 2.14.2, and installed 2.15.0, hoping for a fix. No
luck. Same error message.
6) I then tried installing the packages to a different directory, one that
I created, c:\test, using
install.packages("Rcmdr","c:\\test")
This time, the car package installed correctly, but Rcmdr still had the
same warning message
Warning: unable to move temporary installation
‘c:\test\file136c67c337b3\Rcmdr’ to ‘c:\test\Rcmdr’
There is clearly something messed up on this computer, but I'm at a loss
for how to get around it. Thanks for the suggestions, and I guess I have to
work on a different computer!

Hi all,
I'm having a strange error that prevents me from installing new
packages,
or updating packages after reinstalling. The error message is
Warning: unable to move temporary installation ‘C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.14.2\library\**file15045004ac2\sandwich’ to ‘C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.14.2\library\**sandwich’
for one of the packages that is failing to install/update. This error
started happening after I attempted installing lme4Eigen from the
R-Forge
repositories - that installation failed too.
Any suggestions for fixes welcome. I don't want to upgrade to 2.15 just
yet
because I'm in the middle of a project (although if that's the solution
I
guess I'll have to do it).
Probably the package is in use by another instance of R. Otherwise, check
permissions.
Best,
Uwe Ligges
