Hi all,

I am a total newbie in R and I have a problem when installing Bioconductor to R 3.3.1 for Win x64. After running biocLite() I get a massage:

BioC_mirror: https://bioconductor.org
Using Bioconductor 3.3 (BiocInstaller 1.22.3), R 3.3.1 (2016-06-21).
Old packages: 'survival'
Update all/some/none? [a/s/n]:

If I choose to update it R asks me if I want to use personal library, since my library is not writable. If choose 'yes' the update will continue, but after another run of biocLite() I get the same massage.

The survival package was installed by an administrative account (or at least an account different from the one you are running under). You can (a) update it by running R (just for the update) as the administrator / other user (b) ignore the warning (c) provide the argument lib.loc=.libPaths()[1] (or similar, so that only writable directories are searched) to biocLite (d) as administrator, remove.packages("survival") so that it is only  located  in the user path.
