Rprofile.site on SQL Server update

Is it intended behavior, that when updating SQL Server, the rprofile.site file will get renamed and a new created, "loosing" the configurations (needing to re-add them manually)?

    Hi @Claus Munch ,

    No.
    Just for completeness, there are some ways to prevent you from having this problem.
    You can edit the .libPaths() file and add this command like this:
    .libPaths("/path/to/directory/with/libraries")
    This will put this path as a first value in the .Library variable, and will make it the default.
    If you want to automate this further, you can specify this in the Rprofile.site file, which you find in the /etc/ directory of your R build. Then it will load automatically every time R loads, and you don't have to worry about that any more.
    Please refer to this blog:https://www.it1352.com/1721090.html

    Best regards,
    Seeya
