Those tests don't seem to be working and I think you should ignore
them.  You should not have to create an output directory.  Installing
R is just a matter of clicking on OK repeatedly to the installer.
Everything else is optional, e.g. placing R on your Windows path,
installing Rtools to build packages (although increasingly even that
seems unnecessary for some packages and if you download binaries you
don't have to build packages in the first place), creating a
customized startup via .Rprofile or related files.
