Hi all: My OS is 32bit winxp,but I wanna install 64bit R2.14.1.>From the following website,it says "You can also go back and add 64-bit components to a 32-bit install, or vice versa"http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/rw-FAQ.html#Can-both-32_002d-and-64_002dbit-R-be-installed-on-the-same-machine_003f Does it mean that I can install and run 64bit R2.14.1 under 32bit winxp?If so,how can I "add 64-bit components to a 32-bit install"? Many thanks for your help. My best [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
You cannot install 64-bit R on 32-bit OS, but you can install a 32-bit R on a 64-bit OS, and you can later install 64-bit R as well. That is, installing 32-bit R does not interfere with your option to later install a 64-bit R. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....

What you cannot do is run 64-bit R on a 32-bit version of Windows: the OS will refuse to run the executables (and if it is old enough, not even recognize them). The only reason for mentioning this is for the record. People do drag up R-help postings from years past (someone recently sent me a response to one from the 1990s). We do plan to allow both versions of R to be installed on 32-bit Windows in the future (with a warning). You still will not be able to run them, but you will be able to make binary packages for both versions: also this could be useful for system-wide installations from a 32-bit server OS. > but you can install a 32-bit R on a 64-bit OS, and you can later install 64-bit R as well.
