R help - Aug 2010 - Problem Installing R-Commander

I am trying to install R Commander in my R installation on a laptop running
the 64 bit version of Windows 7 Professional.  I was running R as the
Administrator.

 

The downloads proceed normally via CRAN, but then I get the following error
messages:

 

package ''slam'' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

package ''fBasics'' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

Error in normalizePath(path) : 

  path[1]="E:\Program Files\R\R-2.11.1-x64\library/fBasics": The
system
cannot find the file specified

 

and, sure enough, when I look fBasics in missing.

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks in advance

Norton antivirus software has been reported to cause this type of error.
Rcmdr has nothing to do with it per se (except that it generates a large
number of package installs).
