We're having some issues with installing R in a multiple user Windows environment (e.g. when a user installs a package, there are errors linked to attempting to install certain files into restricted directories). Is there a readme for how to install R properly for multiple users? Thanks! --j
See the manual R Installation and Administration and how to set up per user library paths.
