No -- see FAQ 12.15: "The advanatage of this setup is that it is possible to install multiple R versions in parallel and they all will be fully functional as long as the Current symbolic link points to the currently used version." Note the last part of the sentence. > Is it possible to use a current R gui with older frameworks? > No, the GUI embeds R so a given binary works only with a very specific version of R. You can *compile* the GUI for any R version but the binary will be tied to a specific R version.
