I'm not sure if the problem is actually with R but thought I should
report this anyway.
After Peter's email regarding the R 3.5.2 release today, I installed the
Windows version right away (directly from CRAN and not from a mirror).
Unfortunately, my institute's AV sofware TrendMicro OfficeScan 12.0.5147
Service Pack 1 stops and deletes Rterm.exe when running Rcmd.exe INSTALL
with a local source package. It reports "OfficeScan detected a Behavior
Monitoring policy violation and blocked the offending process(es)." and
"Unauthorized File Encryption" by Rterm.exe.
I've deinstalled R 3.5.2 for now and switched back to 3.5.1, which works
fine.
Best,
Roland Fuß
