Conditional on the user having administrator rights and running as administrator?

It also ends up installing Rcpp in the "wrong" library path. Upon the next
upgrade it'll be gone.  I find that one of the more annoying Windows issues
and tend to install packages outside the R-$version path (which I also chose
to make R-current to have a fixed path etc pp).    Also worth noting that
RStudio is indeed a huge help, there is benefit in being able to "generally"
run R.  Gabor gets that via his batch files, I get it by setting up paths
once and for all.  Which the tutorial describes well.
