[Rd] Installing latest version under Windows (PR#10908)
Dear Debuggers, =20 I'm trying to install R for the first time, however, the exe file referred to does not exist: Installation is via the installer R-2.6.2-win32.exe =20 I've downloaded R several times and the file does not exist. =20 I've tried renaming Rgui.exe.manifest and Rterm.exe.manifest to have only the .exe extension and but this doesn't work.=20 =20 What are your suggestions? =20 Regards =20 Rebecca 3 Installing R under Windows The bin/windows directory of a CRAN site contains binaries for a base distribution and a large number of add-on packages from CRAN to run on Windows 95, 98, NT4, 2000, ME, XP, 2003 Server and Vista (at least) on Intel x86 and clones (including AMD64/EM64T chips and Windows x64).=20 Your file system must allow long file names (as is likely except perhaps for some network-mounted systems).=20 Installation is via the installer R-2.6.2-win32.exe. Just double-click on the icon and follow the instructions. You can uninstall R from the Control Panel. (Note that you will probably (depending on the Windows language settings) be asked to choose a language for installation, and that choice applies to both installation and un-installation but not to running R itself.)=20 See the R Windows FAQ <http://CRAN.R-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html> for more details.=20 =20 __________________________________________________ Rebecca Oyomopito [royomopito at nchecr.unsw.edu.au] TASER Surveillance and Monitoring Study Coordinator=20 Biostatistics and Databases Program National Centre in HIV Epidemiology and Clinical Research (NCHECR) The University of New South Wales 376 Victoria Street Sydney NSW 2010 AUSTRALIA Phone: + 61 (0) 2 9385 0900 Fax: + 61 (0) 2 9385 0920 http://web.med.unsw.edu.au/nchecr/ [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Either you downloaded it and it does exist, or it does not exist because you failed to download it. What URL are you using? I see that file at http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/R-2.6.2-win32.exe Is that what you're downloading?
