Don't say no. It is necessary to run R as Administrator in order to install
packages into the Program Files directory, but running R as Administrator leads
to other problems. The solution is to say yes when it asks if you want to
install in a local library. R will always look first in that library, so you
won't notice the fact that the Program Files library is not updated.
