[Rd] R CMD on windows 7

[Robert J. Hijmans]

I had difficulties running R CMD check and build on windows 7.

The problem seems to be that the script creates folders to which
nobody has any access permissions (not even read). So the script can
not delete these folders or open files.

This worked for me:

Go to the properties of the root folder of your R project (e.g. "D:\R").
Change the settings so that this folder and its sub-folders do not
inherit permissions.
I wanted to next remove the "system" user (but that happened by
itself); and I added myself as a user (not sure if necessary, but
that's what I did).
You probably need admin privileges to do this.
