[R] Packages not installing on XP

[S Ellison]

I have an installation problem; on installing MethComp either from repository or local zip file on Win XP (!) I get

Warning: unable to move temporary installation 'C:\Program Files\R\R-3.1.2\library\filefbc44fe1354\MethComp' to ‘C:\Program Files\R\R-3.1.2\library\MethComp’
The same occurs with other packages.

The 'obvious' reason for this is that subsequent inspection shows that there is no temporary installation at the location given.

I appreciate that R is not now tested on XP as XP is no longer supported by MS, but since I've yet to switch to Win7+ on this otherwise serviceable small laptop and it'll be a while before I get back to my desktops, I'd appreciate any clues as to what - if anything - I could to do in the mean time to get a working package install.
