R 4.3.1 Download not working on Windows

Hi all,

I had an older version of R that was working fine (R 4.1.0). However, I was having issues with some code and thought that updating to the newest version of R would help. Now I have MORE issues as I cannot download the newest version of R (4.3.1).

I have gone through the installation from CRAN (done this as an administrator, in C: and C: program files), etc. But every time, when I try to open R after the software installs (I have a desktop icon, so the whole installation process has completed), I get the following error: "Fatal error: 'R_TempDir' contains space. Has anyone else come across this error? What did you do to successfully install the software?

Thank you for sending this! These solutions didn't work for me, so I'm still looking, but appreciate getting more options.

Just to confirm, it is R that is not loading, not RStudio?

Yes, it is R 4.3.1 itself, not Rstudio
