R version requires Bioconductor 2.3 version

Dear support,

I am new to R. I installed R 2.8.1 under Windows, and upon starting it I 
get the message that it requires Bioconductor version 2.3.
I thought this was kind of installed in parallel or so. Where can I 
upgrade it ?

Best regards,
Andreas

Please do read docuemntation on how to upgrade R and contributed 
packages such as those from the Bioconductor project.
So you installed by overwriting some older version?
Anyway, for the Bioconductor project, see
http://www.Bioconductor.org
which has its own mailing list.

You can choose the BioC Repositories from your R GUI and run, for example,

update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE)

afterwards, which will upgrade your outdated CRAN and BioC packages.
