So you have been successful in installing the package!
updating HTML package descriptions
Warning message:
In file.create(f.tg) :
cannot create file 'C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-28~1.0/doc/html/packages.html', reason
'Permission denied'
That's just a warning that the overview html page of packages could not
be updated. That's not a dramatic drawback if you know yourself that the
package exists in your installation. Package related help pages are
installed, though.
Does anybody know a solution for this, other than upgrading R? Thanks in
advance!
You should upgrade R even for other reasons.
Best wishes,

gunpoint. ;-)
