Hi Spencer. On a Windows machine, the message ?Installation path not writeable? can be solved by starting RStudio as an administrator. Right click the RStudio icon and select ?Run as Administrator?. This should solve that problem. Hope this helps. ~Caitlin Sent from my iPhone> On Apr 21, 2019, at 9:22 PM, Jeff Newmiller <jdnewmil at dcn.davis.ca.us> wrote: > > I don't know anything about the Bioconductor installation, but it is normal practice on Windows to install updates to packages distributed with R (such as those below) by "superceding" them in your user library.

Just do a normal update.packages and the Program Files library will stay unchanged but your user library versions of the base R packages will be loaded instead. > >> On April 21, 2019 8:49:08 PM PDT, Spencer Brackett <spbrackett20 at saintjosephhs.com> wrote: >> Boris, >> ' >> My apologies.

Spoken like someone who hasn't encountered the nightmare that ensues when some schmuck fails to limit their actions to only updating the system R library while following it. It is straightforward and painless to simply update the user library instead, and so much the better if they don't have Admin privileges and think they "need" to harass their sysadmins to deal with this for them. library(fortunes) fortune(337) On April 21, 2019 11:34:16 PM PDT, Caitlin Gibbons <bioprogrammer at gmail.com> wrote:>Hi Spencer. > >On a Windows machine, the message ?Installation path not writeable? can >be solved by starting RStudio as an administrator.

I updated my rStudio to the newest version. "netReg" is apparently unavailable here but I will try to use another function to generate the regression models I am looking for.
