Developers,

I recently was successful getting a package into CRAN with your help.? 
But now I'm working on a second package and am stuck immediately.? Here 
is what I have done.

1. Created the base package using http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/package.html 
to get started.
2. Then
using roxygen2. Upgrading automatically... Error in 
normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) : 
path[1]="\\wolftech.ad.ncsu.edu\cos\stat\Redirect\boos\Documents\srcis\fsr.package\fsr": 
Access is denied In addition: Warning messages: 1: In 
normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) : 
path[1]="\\wolftech.ad.ncsu.edu\cos\stat\Redirect\boos\Documents\srcis\fsr.package\fsr": 
Access is denied 2: In normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, 
mustWork) : 
path[1]="\\wolftech.ad.ncsu.edu\cos\stat\Redirect\boos\Documents\srcis\fsr.package\fsr/DESCRIPTION": 
Access is denied


What am I missing?? I didn't have this problem before.? I have 
re-downloaded RStudio and Rtools, but get the same results.

If you have not already done so, I'd check the package directory (and 
its parent) is not opened in any application, including Windows 
Explorer, including current working directory in any command prompt. I'd 
also make sure the package is not loaded in any R session. The error 
message may be caused by that the file or directory is locked.

Best
Tomas
