Ok, thank you David, I understand better now. I will start with the mice package issue and move any further questions to the forum you suggested.
Really appreciate your help. Cheers.

I'm not a Windows user, but the first indication of a problem was when the installation procedure tried to replace an older version of mice with a newer version and failed. I only chimed in from my place on the sidelines of an R-Windows game because no one else had responded. I tried finding the finalfit package on CRAN but it doesn't seem to have yet been submitted in a version that can be installed on a Mac. So I followed the advice on the blog you linked to and I can now see the package DESCRIPTION file. It has these dependencies: Imports: Hmisc, ggplot2, grid, gridExtra, lme4, magrittr, mice, pROC, plyr, scales, stats, stringr, survival, survminer RoxygenNote: 6.0.1 Suggests: knitr, rmarkdown, rstan, boot > Where or what is the windows error? It appears you have an older version of mice but I cannot tell why it is unacceptable to this version of 'finalfit' since there is no version requirement in the deescription 'Imports:' line. You might try to update your 'mice'-package. The current version on CRAN is 3.0.0, and attempting to make that available might illuminate the problem. > And how would I remedy this issue please? Fixing permissions on windows is not actually on-topic for Rhelp. Perhaps you could ask on the SuperUser forum where advice about Windows system maintenance is on-topic: https://superuser.com/<https://superuser.com/> Best of luck.
