Dear R Experts, I use Windows 10 and just installed the new R version, R3.5.2 but when I tried to load a data file using read.table, I got an error message like this: *Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection* *In addition: Warning message:* *In file(file, "rt") :* * cannot open file 'StreamPCB.dat': No such file or directory* Also, I couldn't install packages using install.packages as usual, unless I run R as Administrator I wonder if anyone else had the same issues and any suggestions how to fix? Thanks a lot Janh [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Did you by any chance use Run As Administrator to install R? If so then you need to uninstall it and delete all files created by it (e.g. Documents/R/win-lib/3.5/) and re-install using UAC as prompted.

Hi Jeff, No, during the installation, there was not an option to Run as Administration. But *after *installation, I found that if I selected Run as Administrator, then I could install packages using install.packages as usual without problems.
