[R] Problems with Installing R ('failure to expand shell folder constant "userdocs")

[Barry DeCicco]

 
Hello,
 
I’m trying to install R 3.02 for windows on a Windows 7 machine (we were just 
upgraded from Windows XP).
It’s a networked machine in a work environment.  I have administrator rights.
Program files go on C; data is stored on D (it's a partitioned drive).
 
I get the message 'failure to expand shell folder constant "userdocs"
 
I searched, and found some stuff on the Microsoft website, which made me 
believe that  I needed to unlock a folder with my user name.  There are two, 
one in ‘C:\Users’, which has a padlock symbol on it, and another in 
‘D:\’m which doesn’t have a padlock icon.  Both had been set to read 
only; I removed that.  
 
I’ve not been able to find anything on the CRAN website about this.
 
Has anybody run into this problem before?
 
 
Thank you very much, 
 
Barry DeCicco
