Thanks Duncan.
The only .site files I have are Reviron.site and Rprofile.site, which
are both in C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.1\etc.
My advice was about 2.15.0, but I don't remember any of this changing
recently.
Copying these files to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.1\etc\x64 and
C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.1\etc\i386 makes no difference.
Sys.getenv returns R_ENVIRON = "" and R_HOME =
"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-214~1.1". Should I set R_ENVIRON in the Windows Registry?
R_ENVIRON doesn't affect the search for the Rprofile.site file, other
than defining where to find environment variables. You want to look at
R_PROFILE, and possibly set it in your Renviron.site file.
