Dear all,

I have just installed the new version of R 2.7.1 and when i first
instaled some packages it asked me to create a personal directory.

It installed the packages, but not the html help page (packages.html)

The downloaded packages are in
        C:\Users\jamaj\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmp4MTuXN\downloaded_packages
updating HTML package descriptions
Warning message:
In file.create(f.tg) :
  cannot create file 'C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-27~1.1/doc/html/packages.html',
reason 'Permission denied'


How can i fix the packages.html file to reflect the packages' instalation?

Thanks in advance.

Dear all,

Unfortunately, i?m running as administrator. So, i cannot run R in an
upper level than this one i am already running.

Just in case you are mistaken try the suggestion given already.
If you determine that that does not work (and are not just guessing
that it won't work) then in Windows Explorer,

right click packages.html > Properties > Security

and set the security levels appropriately.  Not sure but you
may have to do the same thing on its folder as well.
