Files with .png extensions generally make it through the list so, this attachment should survive. It shows the icons for R on Windows. The first is the icon for the R installation software, the second and third are the icons for the 64bit and 32 bit versions of R respectively. These icons may be in Start menu, not on the desktop.

I am guessing that you are clicking on the setup (installation) program and not on R. That would explain why you are being led to the installation process again. You can try to search for another desktop icon that may be R. Or search for the program R.exe. Another possibility is to download RStudio which is a complete environment (IDE) for working with R. I hope that helps, Eric On Sun, Jan 20, 2019 at 10:43 AM Sydney Torbett <torbettsydn...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello!
