Hi Duncan, I tried: > browseURL("http://www.r-project.org") Error in shell.exec(url) : access to 'http://www.r-project.org' denied
As you can see, that elicited a similar error. I'm running R version 2.10.1 (I uninstalled my old version of R and reinstalled a fresh copy today before emailing the list). I installed MySQL, but I get the same error. My operating system is Windows 7 64-bit. Any ideas?
