Yes, the message is pretty clear, but it has nothing to do with running as admin. I have just tried to start a command line with admin privileges and the error still occurs. Regarding Rgui, I started it by opening the shortcut.
Now I've tracked down the problem a bit, and the problem appears to be connected to which folder R is called from. And by sheer luck I've resolved the problem: In all previous versions of Windows, on the Danish editions, the "C:\Program Files" directory was called "C:\Programmer". This appears to be the case in Windows 7, but "C:\Programmer" is a symbolic link (hard/soft?) to "C:\Program Files". And apparently, I've been calling R from "C:\Programmer" instead of "C:\Program Files" which gave the problem. When/how/why I changed the PATH variable to the symbolic link is unclear, but a quick check reveals that the problem did not exist in R 2.12.1: C:\Programmer\R\R-2.12.1\bin\i386\Rterm # No problem C:\Programmer\R\R-2.13.0\bin\i386\Rterm # Problem I will submit a bug report on this.

Access denied means you don't have permission to access the path. This also explains why the packages fail to load - you don't have access to R's package library. It most likely works on RGui because you are clicking it/running it as admin (you did not specify how you ran RGui). 2011/5/2 Stefan McKinnon Høj-Edwards <[email protected]>: > Hi all, > > I have just installed R 2.13.0 and I am experiencing problems with the > terminal, but not the with the GUI interface. > I am Windows 7. > > When running "R" or "Rterm" from a commandline I receive the following: > > Warning message: > In normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) : > path[3]="C:/Programmer/R/R-2.13.0/library": Adgang nægtet > > R version 2.13.0 (2011-04-13) > Copyright (C) 2011 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing > ISBN 3-900051-07-0 > Platform: i386-pc-mingw32/i386 (32-bit) > > R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. > You are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions. > Type 'license()' or 'licence()' for distribution details. > > R is a collaborative project with many contributors. > Type 'contributors()' for more information and > 'citation()' on how to cite R or R packages in publications. > > Type 'demo()' for some demos, 'help()' for on-line help, or > 'help.start()' for an HTML browser interface to help. > Type 'q()' to quit R. > > Warning message: > package "methods" in options("defaultPackages") was not found > During startup - Warning messages: > 1: package 'datasets' in options("defaultPackages") was not found > 2: package 'utils' in options("defaultPackages") was not found > 3: package 'grDevices' in options("defaultPackages") was not found > 4: package 'graphics' in options("defaultPackages") was not found > 5: package 'stats' in options("defaultPackages") was not found > 6: package 'methods' in options("defaultPackages") was not found > > > Notice: "C:/Programmer/" is the Danish equivalent of "C:/Program Files". > The first error "Adgang nægtet" is directly translated to "Access denied". > > Any suggestions as how to fix this? > > Kind regards, > Stefan McKinnon Edwards > > ______________________________________________ > [email protected] 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. > -- =============================================== Jon Daily Technician =============================================== #!/usr/bin/env outside # It's great, trust me. ______________________________________________ [email protected] 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.
