a) Please read the Posting Guidelines mentioned at the bottom of every message.
One rule is this is a plain text email list, so adjust your mail client to post
text to this email list, not HTML.
b) For best results, do not run R as administrator except to update base
packages. R works fine using a package library in your user Documents
directory, and files created while running as Administrator will have
inconvenient permissions and running that way will also expose your system
unnecessarily to security flaws.
c) The instructions for testing a Windows installation omit a critical
parameter name specification, and if you don't have RTools installed and
findable by R then you need to sort through the errors to decide which ones are
not critical. Use
testInstalledPackages(scope="base",errorsAreFatal=FALSE)
running R as a normal user. For complete testing, install Rtools. (I discovered
the parameter specification problem by reading the help documentation through
?testInstalledPackages.)
