[R] choose folder interactively

Dear users,

I am looking for a function to choose a folder interactively, just like 
file.choose() but for a folder.

I have found tcltk::tk_choose.dir() but R hangs when I try to do 
anything and I have to force exit.
I've tried to reinstall tcltk with install.packages(), but "package 
‘tcltk’ is not available (for R version 2.15.2)" even though it's 
already installed on my computer (it comes with 'base', doesn't it?).

 From a Google Search, I have also found choose.dir(), but it looks like 
this function doesn't exist anymore since ages.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance,
Ivan
