We mentioned this once before (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/72719), but did not get anybody work on it. So let's call for python hackers again: it will be fantastic if LyX is able to find Rscript automatically under Windows (from environmental variables RHOME, R_HOME or from the Windows Registry Hive). Before that, users still have to modify the PATH by themselves.
Or maybe it is easier to modify the preferences? Tools-->Preferences-->Paths-->PATH prefix. I have never tried it.
