problem installing courses in swirl #570

bedestanley commented 7 years ago

when I try to install course (windows 7) I get this message: Sorry, but I'm unable to fetch ‘R Programming: The basics of programming in R’ right now. Are you sure you have an | internet connection? I am sure I have internet....

Then I tried manual installation and I get the following message: Course installation failed. Warning message: In file.copy(path, swirl_courses_dir(), recursive = TRUE) : problem copying ~Desktop\R_programming to C:\Users\R\R-3.3.1\library\swirl\Courses\R_programming: No such file or directory.....Again the directory is there.

Background everything was working fine until I decided to update my version of R. Long story short I deleted everything and started afresh. No manual installation!
