Hi Jeremie and Richard

Again, all is working well now that I replaced Vincent Goulet's Emacs/ESS/AucTeX bundles with straight-up Emacs 27.1 from gnu.org and ESS 18.10.2 from MELPA-stable.  I do not recall the ESS version that is bundled into Vincent's emacs-26.1-modified-2, but his emacs-27.1-modified-1 includes ESS 18.10.2.

Cheers,
Steve

To be clear, for my part I was referring to the latest MELPA version

"ess-version: 18.10.3snapshot [elpa: 20210307.735]

And once inferior-ess-r-program is properly set, I didn't experience any
trouble loading R and in using ess-flymake on windows.

Best regards,
Jeremie

The relevant question is what version of ess are you using?
more specifically which version of ess is included with VIncent Goulet's 
emacs-26.1?

the "bin/x64/Rterm.exe" construction is not in ess-16.10
It is in ess-18.10

the /x64/ wasn't meaningful until R stsarted releasing both 32-bit versions and 
64-bit versions.

I don't remember ever using the Windows directory.
U introduced ess-rterm-version-paths at some point.  It has been rewritten
since then, but should still be working as long as you have a recent enough ess.

Hi Jeremie:

As you say, Windows installs do depend on the user’s preferences.
However, in ancient ESS (circa 2004), we coded around this by
going to the Windows registry.  However, I have rarely used
Windows since so I can’t say how that approach might be
used today (or if it is, how it might be failing).  I think a big
issue is that few (if any) ESS developers are using Windows.
Rich was probably the rear guard and he switched to Mac.

PS. the old registry discussions are probably in the archives
