Why do you need to edit PATH? I never have the rw10xx/bin directory in my Desktop PATH. I do set the PATH in a terminal window when working with R, but I do that via the shell startup options (.tcshrc in my case).
It is I believe possible to get the installer to do this, but it may well not be allowed: our students are not allowed to set it (denied by a Windows profile setting).
