That makes it look as though the installer aborted partway through. Could you try to re-install, but run with the command line option "/LOG"? This will create a log file in your TEMP directory (pointed to by your TEMP environment variable, or perhaps in Local Settings/Temp in your Windows home directory), named something like Setup Log 2006-10-04 #001.txt It might give some hint as to what went wrong, e.g. some file was in use and couldn't be replaced, etc. Duncan Murdoch > > > > On 10/4/06, Duncan Murdoch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> On 10/4/2006 12:02 AM, Ray Brownrigg wrote: >>> On Wednesday 04 October 2006 14:17, Duncan Murdoch wrote: >>>> On 10/3/2006 9:00 PM, ronggui wrote: >>>>> This morning I downloaded R-2.4.0 and install in under Windows.
