"Error in strsplit(version_with_dots, "\\.")[[1]] : subscript out of bounds" for updater function

Question

I am using package installr version 0.17.0 to update R and related packages. However, I get the following error message when I typed updater():

Error in strsplit(version_with_dots, "\\.")[[1]] : 
  subscript out of bounds

How can I deal with this situation?

Maybe try the latest version. Also, please show the code you are using. — David Arenburg, Mar 20 '16 at 15:30
Yes. The problem is that I was not using the latest version of the installr package. When I update it to version 0.17.5, the problem was solved. — Patrick, Mar 21 '16 at 13:23

The current version of R is "3.2.4 Revised". installr appears to be having trouble with the " Revised" part of the name. The bug has been fixed in the latest version of the package.
