This is a good thing. I prefer to have my R libraries installed in the Documents folder, because I don't have to worry about Vista stupid filesystem permissions.

So the OpenMx documentation has not been created, because of Vista stupid filesystem permissions. I would follow the instructions at this link to get the documentation to the correct location: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#Does-R-run-under-Windows-Vista_003f
Also, if you change the permissions so you can write to 'C:\PROGRA~2\R\R-29~1.2', you might want to delete your C:\Users\carlos\Documents/R/win-library/2.9 folder and start over. Some users experienced strange behaviors when a copy of OpenMx was installed in their local directory, and another copy was installed in the system directory.
