Format your question better, add a quote chunk to the code that's outputted. Also, include the results of

sessionInfo()

Type sessionInfo() in your R terminal and provide us with the result of that command.

Please post the commands that you used to try and install these packages - stressing the point where you used 'biocLite'.

Have you googled the error message: 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Could you find the value of R_HOME in your enviroment variables, and, if so check if the path is in quotes or not?

Non-zero exit status means the package was not succesfully installed.

I tested and installation was successful here. Could you elaborate on which version of R and bioconductor you use? If outdated, you might want to try to first update those. I think your R is outdated, since org.Hs.eg.db requires 2.7.0 or higher.

From the trail, you can assume R-3.2.3

Try to delete all the packages (org.Hs.eg.db, hu6800.db if exists), that you want to install in the library folder of your R installation Example location of library folder: C:\Program Files\R\R-3.2.3\library

Restart R and try to install all again !!

It may be a little too late but thought of adding a comment for the use of others who may run in to the same issue.

I ran into the same problem and person in-charge of the uni server asked me to run "stringi" in R and it solved my issues with installing packages in R.

code: install.packages("stringi")

Thanks! D
