Hi 
 
I'm using R v2.8 under Windows*) and I'm trying to install a new package (local zip file), but I get the message below. I followed some advice at http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html (4.2 onwards), but to no avail. How can I tell R to save the help files to an alternative location? I don't have write access to the default location.
 
> utils:::menuInstallLocal()
package 'hwriter' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
updating HTML package descriptions
Warning message:
In file.create(f.tg) :
  cannot create file 'C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-28~1.0/doc/html/packages.html', reason 'Permission denied'
> 

Does anybody know a solution for this, other than upgrading R? Thanks in advance!
 
*) Don't ask me why my IT dept. didn't upgrade yet, I couldn't tell you even at gunpoint. ;-)

Cheers!!
Albert-Jan
