I suspect you don't have write permission on c:\temp.

Windows systems typically have TEMP set to a writeable directory, and 
recent builds of R 2.6.0 will use that directory; in older versions you 
should be able to manually set TMPDIR to the same directory.

but I get the Please set TMPDIR to a valid temporary directory

I tried TMPDIR=c:\temp
but to no avail.

Please help.

This happened with older versions of R but its fixed in the more
recent R 2.6.0 versions.
