I'll keep this in mind. Thanks for reminding. Could you please elaborate
your answer on my doubt ? Thanks

this is not related to your original question. I personally need both a 
release and devel version of R and have both installed.
open a Windows shell ('cmd') and type

   R --vanilla

or perhaps

   Rgui --vanilla
again, this isn't related to your original question. See the section 
'Which version of R?' in

You're bing asked to use
  R --vanilla
because you have a non-standard problem, exemplified by the fact that what
you have problems with (installing CRAN packages) works for thousands of
users of Bioconductor (certainly for me).  This suggests that there is
something wrong with something on your computer.  Starting R with R
--vanilla disables loading of some user-specific component. If it works
with R --vanilla the conclusion is that whatever made it fail was something
loaded by R but not R --vanilla.  If it doesn't work with R --vanilla the
conclusion is that your problem is elsewhere.

Best,
Kasper

Dear Kasper :
Thanks for your explanation. However, I opened the shell from Rstudio and
type the command R --vanilla, seems it works fine, but still not sure about
efficiency of using R -vanilla. I am not confident about using R commands,
so is there any quick example that I can practice and understand this in
depth ? Thanks a lot

Best regards:
Jurat
