I don't think Jeff or I have either looked at that document in a while.
Of course if there is a specific fix that needs to occur, let us know.
However, the instructions were tested on a number of machines
(I think incl Win 7 for Jeff).

For me, interest waned when last time I upgraded.

The latest LyX 1.6.x upgrade broke the whole thing (not sure which).
I never figured out why.

So, I just waited a bit till LyX 2 for the module integration of Sweave.
It just worked out of the box for me.
I'd recommend it to all Win LyX-Sweave users.

Big thanks to Yihui and the other devels working on this.

LyX/Sweave on windows 7

[Bruce Kendall]

This is a solution rather than a question.  I am running Windows 7 Enterprise
(V. 6.1, build 7601, SP1).  I had followed the instructions at
http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/LaTeX/SweaveR/lyx_with_r_and_sweave_instructions.pdf,
 and
while both versions of the batch file worked from the command line, LyX couldn't
get past generating the noweb file.

I finally tracked down the solution.  The converter command (step 8) has to be
Rweave.bat $$i rather than Rweave $$i.

As far as I'm concerned best is to properly document PATH tweaks for
Sweave users on Windows. Batch tricks may work in one version, but not
in the next one. And one of the best things about LyX is that it keeps
things transparent; if it could, and it certainly seems so, a
black-box trick should be avoided.
