[R] New Version of R 3.0.1 problems with installing Rcmdr

[alanidris]

I have been using R version 2.15.1 happly along side R Commander. I then
tried to go through a fresh install using the latest version of R, R 3.0.1.
The trouble started when I wanted to install Rcmdr, I kept getting an error
message about previous installs of R Commander. I went through and
deinstalled all versions of R and tried fresh installs. Still could not get
R Commander installed using the Latest version of R.

It is possible that restrictions placed on me through my work computer may
be a factor. But I tried numerous times to deinstall all versions of R and
reinstall R 3.0.1, but I could not install the R Commander package. I then
deinstalled all versions of R and then decided to install an earlier
verision of R. This time I was more succesfull and after a few repeated
starts of R 2.15.1 i managed to get R Commander working.

Talk about a frustrating effort, can any one put any light on this issue? I
work at a University where firewalls may be a factor, but this is only a
guess.

Please dont get too technical I know very little of how R installs itself
and finds out where various packages and modules are. PS I am using Windows
7 as the operating system.
