This error doesn't come from base R. If it is from RStudio, then either 
please refer to their support, or instead try without RStudio, and then 
if you run into these basic problems, a better matching list would be 
R-help.

Basically in common cases you just run the .exe installer and accept the 
defaults. R will find the installed version automatically when it needs 
to install packages.

But unless you have special need to use R 4.2, you could instead install 
the latest R 4.3.
