R versions R-2.6.2 and R-2.7.0 for M$-Windows no longer allow me to install as administrator (on my account) so the users can run R on their own accounts which lack install privileges. I would like to install directly on their computer logged in with administrator privileges. Then, I would like the users to be able to run R under their own logons without having to give them install privileges. It may be that they cannot now run R even with install privileges since my installing R sets up the default start locations. This problem does not exist with R-2.6.1. I see the problem with R-2.6.2 and R-2.7.0. People who run computer labs may have the same problem because it is caused by installation under one login and use under a different login. Options: 1) can you offer an install option "make available to all users of this computer" ? 2) can you specify in the M$-Windows FAQ specific instructions for how to alter the item in the start menu for each new user? I see some hints already, but I would be grateful for more specific instructions. Yet, an install option would make this a lot easier because it is only an issue to set it up once after installing R or updating R to a new version. --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform = i386-pc-mingw32 arch = i386 os = mingw32 system = i386, mingw32 status = major = 2 minor = 7.0 year = 2008 month = 04 day = 22 svn rev = 45424 language = R version.string = R version 2.7.0 (2008-04-22) Windows XP (build 2600) Service Pack 2 Locale: LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252;LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_United States.1252 Search Path: .GlobalEnv, package:stats, package:graphics, package:grDevices, package:utils, package:datasets, package:methods, Autoloads, package:base -- Rick Voland [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
