Re: [R] Opening R from Tinn without setting directory each time
Also note there is a program, Rversions.hta, whose home page is at: http://batchfiles.googlecode.com that will list in a drop down menu all versions of R you have installed, based on the registry information that RSetReg.exe or the R installer sets, allowing you to select which one you wish to make current. Use the most recent version of the Rversions.hta program if you are on Vista and version 0.3-2 of Rversions.hta if you have XP.

Re: [R] Opening R from Tinn without setting directory each time
If you first install a newer version of R and aftwards remove a previous version, Tinn-R gives this behaviour. Doesn't matter if you activate the option to register.

Re: [R] Opening R from Tinn without setting directory each time
Hi, See http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1741502forum_id=481901 I'm running under Windows Server 2003, Standard x64 Edition and (I think) I can't make any system wide registry changes. In my R installation there are (I think) no relevant registry entries. I think that may be the reason that: a) The workaround mentioned in that SouirceForge thread (start R before Tinn-R) doesn't work for me. b) The fix of running RSetReg.exe doesn't work for me. As far as I know, the new version of Tinn-R (1.19.5.0) isn't released yet. So I still have to redefine the R location each time I start Tinn-R (but it's still worth it!). Hope that helps someone Keith Jewell bartjoosen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] If you first install a newer version of R and aftwards remove a previous version, Tinn-R gives this behaviour.

Re: [R] Opening R from Tinn without setting directory each time
I find that some packages, that I need, do not always work with the latest version of R. For that reason I always keep earlier versions of R and the relevant old packages and run it in parallel with the latest version. I use Tinn-R and use the RSetReg.exe from the relevant bin directory to change default R for Tinn-R.

Re: [R] Opening R from Tinn without setting directory each time
That doesn't make sense. Which version of Tinn-R are you using? From Options-Main-Application do you get a dialog box with a tab R, and within that a tab General? At the bottom of the General tab there is a button under Rgui. That should bring up a file selection box. Proceed to the location of your Rgui.exe which should be in the bin directory. C:\Program Files\R\R-2.7.1\bin\Rgui.exe Click OK. Works for me. I'm using Tinn-R version 1.19.0.2 HB Paul Chatfield wrote: Hi - I can access R from Tinn-R by going to Options-Main-Application/R and setting the search path, but each time I exit Tinn-R I have to redefine the search path.
