R upgrading on Windows© revisited

From the list:
When I update R the following has worked for me (Windows XP)
1. Install the new version to a new directory (say C:\Program Files\R\R-2.5.1).
2. Rename the new library subdirectory to library2.
3. Copy the entire contents of the old library subdirectory (say
C:\Program Files\R\R-2.4.0\library\ to the new R root to create
C:\Program Files\R\R-2.5.1\library\ .
4. Copy the contents of library2 to library to update your basic library.
5. Now start your new version of R and update packages from the GUI or
from the R console. (You may need to firs check Rprofile .site to
ensure that no packages have been loaded)
6. On occasion I have got warning messages when I tried to load
packages after this procedure. This has been cleared by running
update.packages(checkBuilt = TRUE)
This checks that your packages have been built with the latest
version. When I do this I agree to install all available updates.
7. You may wish to copy various autoloads etc from your old
Rprofile.site to your new Rprofile.site. I understand that there are
some compatibility problems with 2.5.1 and SciViews so be careful.
