No, that is a work around that gives the answer you want in a rather
round-about way.
As far as I can see, there isn't one, but it is easy to cook up:
isInstalled <- function(pkg, lib.loc = NULL) {
stopifnot(is.character(pkg))
pkgs <- installed.packages(lib.loc = lib.loc)
pkg %in% pkgs
}

Re: [R] How to start default browser on R
Hi David, I see. File: gives the full path to the .html file created/download. Then the browser will open that file. Thanks. I don't have hwriter package installed. A side question, what will be the corresponding command on R for check whether a package already installed? similar to; On R (Windows) Packages - Load package B.R.

Re: [R] How to start default browser on R
Hi Ista,
I see. Your advice works. Thanks
even without:
browser="C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe")
For non default browser it needs;
browser="C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefoe/firefox.exe"
What will be "file:" used for?

Hi Stephen,
I'm not sure if this is the problem, but you almost certainly do not
want the "file:" part. Try
browseURL("http://www.r-project.org";)

Re: [R] How to start default browser on R
Hi David,
Thanks for your advice.
According to the Example on ?browseURL I tried:
1)
browseURL("file:http://www.r-project.org";, browser="C:/Program Files/Internet
Explorer/iexplore.exe")
It starts a small windows asking for permission to accept ActiveX
-> OK
IE doesn't start
2)
browseURL("file:http://d:/R/R-2.5.1/html/index.html";, browser="C:/Program
Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe")
same result as 1) above
What I have missed? TIA
B.R.
