Re: [R] Portable R in zip file for Windows

2018-01-27 Thread John C Frain 
When you unzip that file you have a rstudio.exe file which you appear to be
able to run.  As far as I know rstudio will not run unless you have a
version of R already installed.  The R FAQ for windows explains how to
install R if you have restricted permissions and do not want or are not
allowed to make any changes to the registry.  Using the exe install file in
this way does the same things as the zip file does in rstudio.  For flash
drive or CD you can substitute any area on your hard disk to which you have
read/write/exeute access.  As a last resort you can install in the
directory that you installed rstudio.  To get everything working together
you will need to reset some environmental variables and /or shortcuts.  You
probably needed to do this already with rstudio.

I think that it is very possible that you do not need a zipped file for R,
The FAQ tells you how to make it relocatable. This is the answer to your
question as far as I can see.  If not, I and several others do not
understand it.

Your concept of "totally clear" lacks a good deal of clarity.  You
pretty much ignored providing any indication of what your problem is,
how you expect to run R if you can't run an executable file, or just
about ANY useful information that could allow someone to help you
other than something you might have read seven or eight years ago. 

At a wild guess you can't write to the hard drive of what ever system
you are hoping to use and do not have rights to execute programs on
that system.  A way around that would be to run your software from a
thumb drive or similar external device.  So you might look at R
Portable (https://sourceforge.net/projects/rportable/) which employs
the PortableApps framework, but with such a sweeping lack of
information from you, don't congratulate yourself if you get a helpful
answer.  It wasn't your fault.

I don't know what's involved in putting together such a thing, but my 
guess is that official R sources will not do so.  Generally speaking, R 
doesn't support efforts to circumvent security safeguards.


When I was a member of R Core, we used to get enough trouble from false 
positive warnings from virus checkers.  If R Core started actively 
trying to support system abuse, it would cause far more trouble for them.


Of course, since R is open source, there's nothing to stop some third 
party from putting together a way to run R despite security policies 
that forbid it.  And nothing to stop them from inserting their own 
malicious code into the .zip file.

Could it be that the restriction is not on running exe files but on

If that is it then there are obvious workarounds (rename it not
to have an exe externsion or zip it using another machine,
upload to the cloud and download onto the restricted machine)
but it might be safer to just ask the powers that be to download it

The responsew you recieved suggest that your question was not as clear as
you expected. You then treated a person trying to help you with disrespect.
This is not an effective way to motivate people to help you.

I cant execute exes. But I can unzip files.
Thanks Gabor, I had that in mind, but can't execute the exe due to security
restrictions.


Again, this information should have been in your original question. By
failing to mention that you had considered and rejected this option for
security reasons you caused Gabor to waste time suggesting it.

The bottom line is that you asked a lazy question and failed to include
helpful information that would have helped people help you. You then
responded rudely when people failed to read your mind. You can and should
learn do better.


Geez, really, treating people who ask questions this way just makes you
don't want to ask a single one.


Learn how to ask as I suggested and I'm confident things will go better
next time.

I believe that the ordinary Windows installer for R can produce a
portable result by choosing the appropriate configuration options from the
offered screens when you run the installer  Be sure to enter the desired
path in the Select Destination Location screen, choose Yes on the
Startup options screen and ensure that all boxes are unchecked on the
Select additional tasks screen.

Re: [R] Portable R in zip file for Windows

2018-01-25 Thread PIKAL Petr 
Hm. I wonder what is your intention. R is a program, it needs to be installed 
somewhere. You could install it on USB stick from where it could be run. But 
you said you cannot use USB stick.

So you need to install R program and you could probably make a zip file from 
this installation and put it on USB stick or to Dropbox or ...

But you most probably cannot run it from this zip file directly, you need to 
unzip it somewhere. In that case why not install R directly to "somewhere"?

Cheers
Petr
