Hi Gene,
"It's complicated". (Not really, but listen for a sec...)
We need to ship a default policy that makes sense for all / most
situations. So
- users cannot write into /usr/local/lib/R/site-library -- unless they are
set up to, but adding them to the 'group' that owns that directory
There is one volunteer-supported installer for all Windows versions, and it is
not built as a Windows Service. I highly doubt that any of those volunteer
developers have access to Windows Server 2019... if it doesn't work there
interactively then you may need to enable some level of

changing file permissions on your personal files inadvertently and making them
unusable by your normal user. Even if you did alter your user permissions so
you could mess with it without elevating privileges, POSIX
Hello,

I have worked with R on Windows Server for many years with no problems
except for the usual ones, users make something wrong, configurations,
tool chains needing upgrading, etc. But nothing unsolvable.
Give it a try and I'm sure that you will be find it that R is great
Hi Gene,
This is probably not best practice, but I install packages as root,
which allows me to write into the default library. The restriction on
non-root users being blocked from making changes to appications is
pretty standard.

Hello R Community,
I've been using R for a long time, and this is a question that still makes
me think twice every single time I install R, which is more and more often .
The first search hit is this StackOverflow question:

What versions of Windows can R Language be installed on? Specifically, is
Windows Server 2019 a supported platform?
