R help - Jul 2008 - Erro updating HTML package descriptions in packages.html

Dear all,

I have just installed the new version of R 2.7.1 and when i first
instaled some packages it asked me to create a personal directory.

It installed the packages, but not the html help page (packages.html)

The downloaded packages are in
        C:\Users\jamaj\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmp4MTuXN\downloaded_packages
updating HTML package descriptions
Warning message:
In file.create(f.tg) :
  cannot create file 'C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-27~1.1/doc/html/packages.html',
reason 'Permission denied'


How can i fix the packages.html file to reflect the packages' instalation?

Thanks in advance.

If you need to, run R with privileges that permit write access to that 
file...
