Re: [Rd] installling R-devel on Windows
I meant on the R devel download page. (I was just installing Rtools40 on another computer.)

Re: [Rd] installling R-devel on Windows
I tried it from another computer and it did work. Is there some way of installing R devel using the analog of the R --vanilla flag so that I can do it in a reproducible manner. It seems to remember prior settings and maybe that is a problem although one would not expect a setting that could lead to what occurs. I don't see anything documenting flags on the Rtools40 page.

Re: [Rd] installling R-devel on Windows
I clicked on the download link at https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rdevel.html and then opened the downloaded file which starts the installation process. I specified a new directory that does not exist, R-test, to be sure that it would not get confused with an old directory. I repeated this using different directories and on different days. I tried it from a user and an Admin account. If I use the exact same procedure to install R-4.0.3patched it works. I have successfully downloaded and installed R maybe hundreds of times over the last 10 to 20 years and have never before encountered this.

It just tested it to be sure, but it works fine for me. Are you using the official installer from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rdevel.html ? The default install path is not R-test C:\Program Files\R\R-devel. Perhaps you have old files lingering from previous installations that cause permission problems during the installation process? __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
[Rd] installling R-devel on Windows
When I try to install r-devel on Windows all I get is this. No other files. This also occurred yesterday as well.
