Hi, I guess this issue must have been brought forward long time ago, but I still hope you can consider under Windows (during installation):
1. put R's bin path in the PATH variable of the system so that we can use the commands "R" and "Rscript" more easily; 2. remove the version string like R-2.13.0 in the default installation directory, e.g. only use a directory like C:/Program Files/R/ instead of C:/Program Files/R/R-2.13.0/; I know many people just follow the default setting when installing R, and this version string will often lead to many (unnecessary) copies of R in the system and brings difficulty to the first issue (several possible bin directories); I'm aware of some existing efforts in overcoming the difficulty of calling R under Windows like the R batch files project (http://code.google.com/p/batchfiles/), but I believe this is better to be solved in R directly. Thanks!
