That normally only occurs if you have at some time used elevated
permissions, beyond which point you fall into a downward spiral of more
permissions trouble. You are apparently already in trouble, whether it was
of your own making or due to a bug in the installer.
Also, never update the system R package library... always use a personal
library.

Hi Jeff,
No, during the installation, there was not an option to Run as
Administration. But *after *installation, I found that if I selected
Run
as Administrator, then I could install packages using install.packages
as
usual without problems.
Thanks

Did you by any chance use Run As Administrator to install R? If so
you need to uninstall it and delete all files created by it (e.g.
Documents/R/win-lib/3.5/) and re-install using UAC as prompted.

Dear R Experts,
I use Windows 10 and just installed the new R version, R3.5.2 but
I
tried to load a data file using read.table, I got an error message
this:
*Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection*
*In addition: Warning message:*
*In file(file, "rt") :*
* cannot open file 'StreamPCB.dat': No such file or directory*
Also, I couldn't install packages using install.packages as usual,
unless I
run R as Administrator
I wonder if anyone else had the same issues and any suggestions how
fix?
Thanks a lot
Janh
