First question: is this the right mailing list to discuss installation
problems?

if yes:
(Windows XP professional environment )
Installing a second  packege after the first causes an error:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> utils:::menuInstallLocal()
package 'RMySQL' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
updating HTML package descriptions
> utils:::menuInstallLocal()
package 'DBI' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Warning: unable to move temporary installation
'C:\Programme\R\R-2.6.1\library\file3d6c4ae1\DBI' to
'C:\Programme\R\R-2.6.1\library\DBI'
updating HTML package descriptions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but installing DBI first causes the same error but than with RMySQL:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> utils:::menuInstallLocal()
package 'DBI' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
updating HTML package descriptions
> utils:::menuInstallLocal()
package 'RMySQL' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Warnung: unable to move temporary installation

updating HTML package descriptions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The directory C:\Programme\R\R-2.6.1\library\file3d6c4ae1\ is not
present ...

I tried a several times to restart the Rgui no without saving the
workspace and tried to install the package again no change.
The last time I saved the Workspace and got a success after installing
the package:
>
but the initial problem is still there

>  library(DBI)
>  library(RMySQL)
Error in dyn.load(file, ...) :
  cannot load shared library
'C:/Programme/R/R-2.6.1/library/RMySQL/libs/RMySQL.dll'
LoadLibrary failure:  module not found (Remark translated message)
