R help - Apr 2014 - error when installing package after installing R-3.1.0 on windows

Hi,
 
I encountered following error" Warning in
install.packages("xlsx") :   'lib = "C:/Program
Files/R/R-3.1.0/library"' is not writable". This is right after I
installed R-3.1.0 on windows after previous R-2.15.2 which is still existing.
 
I checked the folder permission and it doesn't have read-only set. Did
anybody experienced the same or have suggestions what to check or fix?
 
Thanks for the help,
 
Linda

If you want to install into that libvrary, you need administrator 
permissions, i.e. start R via right click and "Start as
Administrator".
Otehrwise install into a personal library.

Best,
