Hello, When I try to install Rtools in the usual way into C:\Rtools on a new Windows 8.1 desktop it stalls near the beginning of the "Extracting files..." step. The Task Manager Status for the Setup app shows "Not responding" and it takes a long time to complete the installation, in spite of the fact that this is a fast machine (Intel i7) with 16 GB if RAM. There were no such stalls when R itself was installed. Any ideas? Thanks, Dominick

Please ignore, this was an antivirus issue, sorry.
