A final, final followup. Uwe, your suggestion is spot on - disabling the
virus scanner fixes the problem. UNL recently changed virus scanning
software, so this issue arose with Windows XP and Symantec Endpoint
Protection. It can be readily disabled and reenabled from the system tray,
so not too big an issue, once the problem is understood!
OK, problem is probably that the virus scanner locks the file and hence
R cannot move them.
Best,
Uwe Ligges
thank you all for your various suggestions and assistance.

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,
