Hi,


This also happens in 2.9.1 and 2.9.2. My personal solution is to look under ' C:\Program Files\R\R-2.9.0\library' for a bizarre-named directory (starts with an 'f' and has numbers and letters mixed) , which contains the package directory (in this case 'robustbase') and move it up one level (like the other packages). This is annoying, but so far is the only solutions I have found.

I haven't been able to reproduce this, so all I can do is guess at the cause, but it looks as though a directory rename failed. One cause for that would be that some application (like a virus checker, or file indexer, or some other background process) has a file open within the directory. You could try disabling all such programs (though it's not easy in Windows, there are lots of ways to start them) and see if that helps.
