Hello, I discovered a bug or undocumented behavior in normalizePath
steps to reproduce: execute normalizePath on a folder link on windows. When you are on a non-english windows box, you likely have links in place for windows' default folders, e.g. "C:\Programme" linking to "C:\Program Files" on german windows boxes. Thus executing 'normalizePath("C:/Programme/R")' results in an " path[1]="C:/Programme/R": Access is denied" error while 'normalizePath("C:/Program Files/R")' yields the expected result. Just executing executing 'normalizePath("C:/Programme")' however also yields the expected result, Cheers David -- M.Sc.
