Hi all-
Some recent change...perhaps a windows update, or perhaps a change in the network on which I use my computer....has made it impossible for me to start R. When I try to start the program, I get a message that says "Fatal error: invalid HOMEDRIVE". Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks much Chris
Chris,
we have seen this question roughly 83264861846 times on R-help now (this might be a very subjective estimation - in fact, I haven't counted).
Please search the mail archives before asking questions.
The solution is to use R-patched, available at YourCRANmirror/bin/windows/base/rpatched.html
It's CHANGES file contains the following lines:
Workaround for bug in Microsoft critical update KB835732: if HOMEPATH environment variable is not set properly, R would not start (PR#6802).
