Windows Installation Without Third-Party Packages

Dear Eliot,

Users cannot update those packages because they don't have the correct
privileges to the library directory inside the R installation. If the
administrator gives enough priviliges to the users so that they can modify
all within the library directory, then the users should be able to update
those packages.

I am trying to install R for Windows, but when I use the installer provided
on CRAN, a number of third-party packages are installed by default (i.e.
lattice, Matrix, codetools, etc.). If R is installed with administrator
privileges, so it's available for all users, non-administrators can't
update those packages. Is there any way to just install R without any
third-party packages, and let individual users install the packages they
want?

Thanks.

- Elliot
