This is a great news... I tried this exe and it "works." In brief the
process was:

1. R-2.9.0
2. KDE - with many devel files - at least the ones that seemed
relevant to me. This took a LONG time.
3. PHP - cli only
4. RKward 0.5.1_pre2

Bingo!

I searched for libtexteditor.dll, but did not find any under KDE (on
XP) installation (I  used C:\KDE4).

But the php is giving some errors. I'll take that up on a separate
thread with a screenshot.

the slashes should not be the problem. In general Qt is smart enough to simply 
handle that (and AFAIK it always uses the forward slashes, internally). I 
suspect it's the space-in-the-path issue once again. I have an idea on how to 
address that. Watch out for

It tooks me a long time to find that, as well.

For me it's in (translating the file-paths from the German version of Windows 
XP, so probably not quite correct):
C:\Documents\User\Application Data\.kde\share\config\rkwardrc

Will try this tonight once I get back and let you know. Btw, what is
the uninstallation process for RKward? Or should I just install the
new version over the old one?

Ah, right, so there it is... slightly non-trivial place. OK.

Installing the new version over the old one should work fine. There is no 
uninstaller, yet, and unfortunately, our concept of installing to two separate 
locations, both of which contain files from other applications, too (KDE and 
R), just does map well to the installer-system we use (NSIS). So probably no 
uninstaller for another while.

If I remember correctly the Amarok devs also dropped support for a couple of 
languages. They had to 
much of everything.
At the end it sounds like a nightmare for me too. True, one solution that fits 
all needs is best. As 
long it is something common. Qtscript might indeed match this demand somehow.

In any  case it means a rewrite of many plug-ins. Therefore it's better to have 
a solution which 
works in the long run. I'll wait so long.

Great, now the PHP works fine... Some of the (graphics related)
plugins work too!
