Dear Bioconductor Support,
i recently tried to upgrade my R version to the newest R version 3.2 in one of my computers in order to check how it works:
My current info is : sessionInfo()
R version 3.1.1 (2014-07-10)
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)
locale:
[1] LC_COLLATE=Greek_Greece.1253 LC_CTYPE=Greek_Greece.1253 LC_MONETARY=Greek_Greece.1253
[4] LC_NUMERIC=C LC_TIME=Greek_Greece.1253
attached base packages:
[1] tools stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base
other attached packages:
[1] installr_0.15.3
I followed the code:
install.packages("installr"); library(installr)
updateR()
and although R was installed, with some questions ask about copying the old packages in the new version and upgrade them, finally there was the following error:
updateR()
Installing the newest version of R,
please wait for the installer file to be download and executed.
Be sure to click 'next' as needed...

We can not seem to find the location if the new R you have installed.
The rest of the updating process is aborted, please take care to copy
your packages to the new R installation.
[1] TRUE
Warning message:
In install.R(to_checkMD5sums = to_checkMD5sums, keep_install_file = keep_install_file, :
There was some problem with installing R. Some files are not what they should be (e.g: check MD5 sums did not pass all the tests).
You can try installing R again (either manually or through install.R()),
and if the problem persists you can file a bug report by running: bug.report(package = 'installr')
I also tried through istall.R but the same error remains. Any directions or help ?
This isn't really a bioconductor related question, so this isn't the best forum to get answers related to installR -- in fact, I'm not quite sure what is.
That having been said, I'd prefer upgrading R manually over using an R package to do so, perhaps you'd have more luck going that route, as well.
