Those tests don't seem to be working and I think you should ignore them. You should not have to create an output directory. Installing R is just a matter of clicking on OK repeatedly to the installer. Everything else is optional, e.g. placing R on your Windows path, installing Rtools to build packages (although increasingly even that seems unnecessary for some packages and if you download binaries you don't have to build packages in the first place), creating a customized startup via .Rprofile or related files. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
