I am running as administrator.
Again, the first 2 tests worked but the 3rd is still giving me an error:
> testInstalledBasic("basic")
running strict specific tests
running code in eval-etc.R
comparing eval-etc.Rout to eval-etc.Rout.save ...[1] 1
> testInstalledBasic("both")

Error in setwd(outDir) : cannot change working directory
So since this my installation was standard, do you just recommend I
unistall and resintsall somewhere else?
Thank you for your help.
