Im currently trying to install R 3.2.5 on an Asus Zenbook running Windows 10. No matter what I do, when I try to install Rcmdr to R

package ‘RcppEigen’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked Warning: unable to move temporary installation ‘C:\Program Files\R\R-3.2.5\library\file24a01d367b67\RcppEigen’ to ‘C:\Program Files\R\R-3.2.5\library\RcppEigen’

and

package ‘Rcpp’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked Warning: unable to move temporary installation ‘C:\Program Files\R\R-3.2.5\library\file24a0696e46c4\Rcpp’ to ‘C:\Program Files\R\R-3.2.5\library\Rcpp’

Ive changed C:\Program Files\R\R-3.2.5 to be fully controllable by the user, and it still gets the same error

    usually you would have your own R library for installed packages somewhere in your personal directories. If there is not already one create a directory soemthing like `"C:/Users/username/Documents/R/win-library/3.2"`. Then `.libPaths(c(new.directroy.name, .libPaths())) ` should let R know to use it. then try installing again. If this works, then see [here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/19662905/2761575) how to let R know to always look for this library – dww Oct 07 '16 at 03:11

  • Turns out my problem was installing the x32 version, once I installed the x64 version everything worked fine –  Nov 02 '16 at 04:09
