Hi, I am new to R. I installed version 2.4.0 some time ago and I find that some packages I want to use require 2.4.1. I am using Windows XP. Do I need to uninstall R first before running the setup file for 2.4.1 or does the setup file "do the right thing"? --Mark.

But it will not delete the older 2.4.0 version from the Desktop, and all other places where Windows XP places programs. Alberto Monteiro
