"C:\Program Files\R\R-2.9.2\library" does exist

"C:\Program Files\R\R-2.9.2\library/QRMlib" does not.

As it was the QRMlib package being installed it doesn't surprise me
that it's not there, but please note the '/' instead of '\' like the
rest of the path.

I've seen this a number of times recently. This is the first I've posted here.

Thanks,
