Issues with R3.5.2

You could delete your 3.5 personal package library (using the File
Explorer with Run as Admin if necessary) and re-install your packages
without running as Admin. If that does not work try uninstalling R and
re-installing 3.5.1.

This issue only came up after I installed R3.5.2. Never had any
problems
with previous installations.  So it is likely a bug in the current
version.  Any suggestions what to do now?

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
Janh

Did you by any chance use Run As Administrator to install R? If so

then

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

when

I
tried to load a data file using read.table, I got an error

message

like

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

to

fix?

Thanks a lot
Janh
