I know they can coexist. It all works fine with both versions installed. But with limited resources I would like to uninstall the previous version (for me it is 2.13.1). Choosing uninstall from the 'Control Panel' results in the error listed at the beginning of this thread.

The advice below is wholly unnecessary, and, in fact, various versions of R can coexist without problems (and are designed to do so). I just upgraded to 2.14.0 on Windows via the simple binary install process, copied old libraries over (unnecessary if you do not wish to keep old versions around -- just use .libPaths() to point to the library tree) ran the update packages options from the packages menu. Pretty simple!

The old R version libraries file will be kept on machine.
