[R] Keep on getting message errors when trying to install and load packages

[Paul Bernal]

Dear R friends,

I am currently using Windows 8, 64-bit operating system, x64-based
processor. I have installed R version 3.4.1 "Single Candle".

Also, I have several packages installed in this path:

C:\Users\PaulBernal\Documents\R\win-library\3.4

Plus some other packages installed in this other path:

C:\Users\PaulBernal\Desktop\DESTOP FILES\R Books
C:\Users\PaulBernal\Desktop\DESTOP FILES\RPackagesNEW


And I have installed R in the following path:

C:\Program Files\R\R-3.4.1

Whenever I try to install an R package the following error messages are
displayed in the R console:

> utils:::menuInstallLocal()

Do I have to put all the packages in the same path where I installed R?
Could this be happening because I have packages installed in several
folders with several paths? Should I consolidate and put all packages in a
single location?

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Cheers,

Paul
