R help - Jul 2013 - Cannot access PDF manuals from R console

Hello,

We are currently using R for an enterprise build here on campus. However after
install we noticed an issue when testing the program.

We cannot access the PDF manuals from the console. Instead we get the following
error:
Error: Access to 'doc\manual\R-intro.pdf' denied.

The same error occurs for all of the manuals.

We have tested this with admin privileges and also user privileges. There is no
reason to believe that the NTFS permissions or anything are blocking access to
the manuals. We have tried elevated privileges as well but with no luck.

I was wondering if you have had this issue before and if there is a work around.

Thank you,

No, have not encountered this.

If you want further help, you will have to be quite a bit more specific about
the steps you have taken, version of R, source of install files. and the
operating system used and configuration thereof. Carefully read the footer on
this or any other list email and follow the directions there.
