Dimitri: Several of us early Vista users have encountered difficulties that ultimately were related to Vista's treating only the Administrator as having permission to make some changes. Even if you are the only user, you still do not have administrative privileges by default. (I think this is a good thing since it diminishes accidental or malicious changes).
With R the problem surfaces when trying to install packages. The problem is easily mitigated by running R as the administrator and installing the packages or updates. (Subsequent R sessions can be run by double clicking on the icon, as usual.) To do that, right-click on the program's icon and choose "Run as administrator." Perhaps this will solve your RWinEdt problems as well. Best wishes! Charles Annis, P.E.

I am using R version 2.5. The installation of the RWinEdt library is funny. First, it didn't install at all. Then, I uninstalled/reinstalled both R and WinEdt, downloaded the package again from the CRAN repositary, got some error messages, but RWinEdt initialized. I closed R and WinEdt, launched R again, type "library(RWinEdt)", and got several dialogue boxes (again), asking if I wanted to creat shortcuts, etc. Then, RWinEdt didn't work anymore. I'm sorry for the messy email, but I've done so many installations/uninstallations/re installations, that I am alos confused. I guess the ultimate questions is: are there any known issued between R, RWinEdt and Windows Vista? I appreciate any help.
