Yes, the message is pretty clear, but it has nothing to do with running as admin.
I have just tried to start a command line with admin privileges and the error still occurs.
Regarding Rgui, I started it by opening the shortcut.
Now I've tracked down the problem a bit, and the problem appears to be connected to which folder R is called from.
And by sheer luck I've resolved the problem:
In all previous versions of Windows, on the Danish editions, the "C:\Program Files" directory was called "C:\Programmer". This appears to be the case in Windows 7, but "C:\Programmer" is a symbolic link (hard/soft?) to "C:\Program Files". And apparently, I've been calling R from "C:\Programmer" instead of "C:\Program Files" which gave the problem.
When/how/why I changed the PATH variable to the symbolic link is unclear, but a quick check reveals that the problem did not exist in R 2.12.1:
C:\Programmer\R\R-2.12.1\bin\i386\Rterm ?# No problem
C:\Programmer\R\R-2.13.0\bin\i386\Rterm ?# Problem
I will submit a bug report on this.
Kind regards,
Stefan McKinnon Edwards

Emne: Re: [R] Problems with Rterm 2.13.0 - but not RGui
The message is pretty clear. Access denied means you don't have
permission to access the path. This also explains why the packages
fail to load - you don't have access to R's package library. It most
likely works on RGui because you are clicking it/running it as admin
(you did not specify how you ran RGui).

Hi all,
I have just installed R 2.13.0 and I am experiencing problems with the terminal, but not the with the GUI interface.
I am Windows 7.
When running "R" or "Rterm" from a commandline I receive the following:
Warning message:
In normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) :
?path[3]="C:/Programmer/R/R-2.13.0/library": Adgang n?gtet

Notice: "C:/Programmer/" is the Danish equivalent of "C:/Program Files".
The first error "Adgang n?gtet" is directly translated to "Access denied".
Any suggestions as how to fix this?
Kind regards,
