Re: [R] Make R 3.0 open .RData files
Another thing that you can try is changing the Path. Make sure the PATH environment variable has the path to R 3.0 before R 2.15.3 in the string.

Re: [R] Make R 3.0 open .RData files
Weird - because I was successful in doing it as I was installing earlier R versions and moved from an earlier version to a newer version. Never had any problems with making permanent changes to file associations in any other programs either.
