Uwe, thanks!
The switch from "Program" to "Program Files" made it (stupid Windows!).
I tried the "--library=." flag because I got the error message
path[2]="C:/Program/R/R-3.0.1/library": Access denied
without it, and naively thought that I had a permission problem.
This was strange, because I am the administrator of my Windows machines.
BTW, why can't I, as an administrator, install packages in
"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.0.1\library" ?
Because you started R with standard privileges? Right click on R and
then tell Windows to start R as an administrator. That should fix your
problems.
Thanks again; didn't know that either! Always fun to learn new things.

This is of course a very minor problem, since I never do anything useful
on Windows machines.

Do you have appropriate poermissions to do that? In this case, you need
to start everything with admin priviliges explicitly unless your Windows
is configured differently.
but I get errors like
1: package 'datasets' in options("defaultPackages") was not found
and, finally,
Error in normalsizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) :
path[1]="C:/Program/R/R-3.0.1/library/tools": Atkomst nekad

This is on a Swedish version of Windows 7. I noticed that the R
installer called the installation directory "Program Files" instead of
"Program" (despite my effort to change it), so I tried the same thing
But there is "Program Files", "Program" is just something like a link
shown by the Windows Explorer that actually points to "Program Files".
with an English version of Windows 7 (on another machine), and there
everything went as expected.
I installed R on both machines today so the setups should be identical,
except for the languages. What can be wrong? Can it be a language/path
thing?
Probably not the language but different admin settings.

Thanks for any insight!
