Fixes partially #9314
@rdstern @ChrisMarsh82, as pointed by @rdstern in the issue, when you install/update new packages they go to the user library i.e.
C:/Users/rdste/AppData/Roaming/R-Instat/library
. Packages here persist across updates of R-Instat unless explicitly removed by deleting the folder.This PR ensures that a separate directory is created for each version of R-Instat in the Roaming folder
(e.g., C:/Users/rdste/AppData/Roaming/R-Instat/0.8.0b/library)
, also that packages from previous versions don't interfere with the new ones. When updating R-Instat, you would then install new packages in the corresponding version-specific library, keeping older versions isolated.
