[R] Problems with Installing R ('failure to expand shell folder constant userdocs)

2013-12-18 Thread Barry DeCicco 
 
Hello,
 
I’m trying to install R 3.02 for windows on a Windows 7 machine (we were just 
upgraded from Windows XP).
It’s a networked machine in a work environment.  I have administrator rights.
Program files go on C; data is stored on D (it's a partitioned drive).
 
I get the message 'failure to expand shell folder constant userdocs
 
I searched, and found some stuff on the Microsoft website, which made me 
believe that  I needed to unlock a folder with my user name.  There are two, 
one in ‘C:\Users’, which has a padlock symbol on it, and another in 
‘D:\’m which doesn’t have a padlock icon.  Both had been set to read 
only; I removed that.  
 
I’ve not been able to find anything on the CRAN website about this.
 
Has anybody run into this problem before?
 
 
Thank you very much,

You didn't say what gave that message (and there is no 'R 3.02': did you 
mean  3.0.2?).


If this came from the installer, that is not part of R: look for info on 
'Inno Setup'.
