a) You seem to be under the impression that running as Administrator fixes
problems... in my experience, it simply multiplies them. [1]
b) Your personal library is in an unusual place... it is usually an R
directory under your Documents folder...
C:\Users\melissa\R\win-library\3.0
should normally be
C:\Users\melissa\Documents\R\win-library\3.0
on a Win7 system. This mis-location may be related to your problems.
c) Your errors seem to be suggesting that you have a Windows XP-style
personal library path in your install somewhere:
c:/Docume~1/melissa/R/win-library/3.0
That is definitely not kosher on a Win7 system.

Hi-
I just upgraded R to 3.0.0 from 2.15.1 (which worked fine). When I started
trying to install updated versions of the libraries, I saw the following
error:
install.packages("lme4")
Installing package into 'c:/Docume~1/melissa/R/win-library/3.0'
(as 'lib' is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
path[1]="c:/Docume~1/melissa/R/win-library/3.0": Access is denied

Error in install.packages : path[1]="c:\Docume~1\melissa\R\win-library\3.0":
Access is denied
At that point, I noticed that a similar error was occurring when R loads:
Warning message:
In normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) :
path[1]="c:/Docume~1/melissa/R/win-library/3.0": Access is denied
The relevant directory does exist, although it keeps getting set to
"read-only". I can't imagine that being a big issue if I'm running R as an
administrator though
C:\Users\melissa\R\win-library\3.0
Also, I can successfully install packages into other directories (e.g. when
running as an administrator, this works fine):
install.packages("lme4", lib="C:/Program Files/R/R-3.0.0/library")
trying URL
'http://cran.case.edu/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/lme4_0.999999-2.zip'
Content type 'application/zip' length 1408286 bytes (1.3 Mb)
opened URL
downloaded 1.3 Mb
package 'lme4' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
The downloaded binary packages are in
C:\Users\melissa\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpEXtf89\downloaded_packages
This will allow me to work with most R packages, but not Bioconductor, due
path to the references in the biocLite source file.
I haven't seen any other messages regarding similar issues, so I'm not sure
what is going on. I've tried reinstalling R, (although I didn't try a fresh
download).
Other relevant details:
This is a personal computer running windows 7.
Any thoughts or ideas of how to get this to work?
Thank you!
