Under Windows 2000 I installed R 1.4.0 some time ago. I then installed R 1.4.1 just now. If I hit the Windows Start button select Programs from the menu that appears select R from the menu that appears then I get a menu with R 1.4.0 R 1.4.1 R 1.4.0 Help R 1.4.1 Help Uninstall R for Windows If I select Uninstall R for Windows it uninstalls R 1.4.1 but I want to uninstall 1.4.0 . How do I do that? There does not appear to be separate uninstalls for the two versions. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

This and related issues are covered in the rw-FAQ in R-devel (1.5.0 to be). BTW, the behaviour is quite common for Windows applications. -- Brian D.

I guess you have to delete them by hand? 2. the Start | Programs | R | Uninstall R for Windows menu item disappeas do it won't be possible to use it for 1.4.1 either. It seems you have to uninstall 1.4.0 before installling 1.4.1 if you want to be able to rely on the uninstall in the Start | Programs | R menu -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
