Hi

I tried to install the sem package and it was succsessful but I keep 
getting the following message

Paket 'sem' erfolgreich ausgepackt und MD5 Summen abgeglichen

Die heruntergeladenen Pakete sind in
        C:\Users\Dean\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpVRxlLZ\downloaded_packages
aktualisiere HTML Paketbeschreibungen
Warning message:
In file.create(f.tg) :
  kann Datei 'C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-28~1.1/doc/html/packages.html' nicht 
erzeugen. Grund '*Permission denied*'

How can I get this permission what can I do?

Thank you
Nina

Nina,
did you try to install this package using some other mirror?

Dear Tijana,

I'm afraid that I can't entirely read the messages, but the problem
doesn't look like it's peculiar to the sem package. It appears as if
the package may have been properly installed but you didn't have
permission to update HTML help links. If that's the case, then you can
still load and use the package. Does it work? 

If you want to reinstall the package and update HTML links that you
should run R with administrator privileges. See
<http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#Does-R-run-under-Windows-Vista_003f>
in the R for Windows FAQ.

I hope this helps,
 John

This is interesting to me, as I have had to manually update my

properly, but entries are not added to "packages.html".
