Re: [R] Portable R in zip file for Windows

When you unzip that file you have a rstudio.exe file which you appear to be able to run. As far as I know rstudio will not run unless you have a version of R already installed. The R FAQ for windows explains how to install R if you have restricted permissions and do not want or are not allowed

Re: [R] Portable R in zip file for Windows

Pretty good question Gabor. I can execute R once it is installed (if someone with rights installs it before) but not the installer. I can download the installer (with some pain). I know that some installers are actually compressed files in disguise, but I think this is not the case with R, right?

Re: [R] Portable R in zip file for Windows

Can you clarify what the nature of the security restriction is? If you can't run the R installer then how it is that you could run R? That would still involve running an external exe even if it came in a zip file. Could it be that the restriction is not on running exe files but on downloading

>From the R Studio downloads, look below the installers. This is off topic however. If there is no zipped, no exe, no installation required of R, then I thank you very much for your help and trolling. (BTW, I think my question was pretty clear, concise and specific, I appreciate that some of you

Re: [R] Portable R in zip file for Windows

Can you please explain where you get the R-studio zip file and how you manage to run r-studio from it without expanding it. I do not see how this is possible and would be delighted if you would share that knowledge with us. Obviously this possibility has not occurred to anyone on the list John

What is wrong with you guys? I asked for a zip, like R Studio has for example. Totally clear. I cant execute exes. But I can unzip files. Thanks Gabor, I had that in mind, but can't execute the exe due to security restrictions. Geez, really, treating people who ask questions this way just makes

Re: [R] Portable R in zip file for Windows

I believe that the ordinary Windows installer for R can produce a portable result by choosing the appropriate configuration options from the offered screens when you run the installer Be sure to enter the desired path in the Select Destination Location screen, choose Yes on the Startup options

Yes, that works, but I can't use USB sticks. It has to be a downloadable zip file On Thu, Jan 25, 2018, 09:37 John Kane wrote: > I have not done this is years, but I think that I just installed R on a > USB stick and it was fine. But that was probably 10 years ago so things

I have not done this is years, but I think that I just installed R on a USB stick and it was fine. But that was probably 10 years ago so things may have changed completely since then. On Wednesday, January 24, 2018, 10:12:09 PM EST, Juan Manuel Truppia wrote: I

I read a message from 2009 or 2010 where it mentioned the availability of R for Windows in a zip file, no installation required. It would be very useful for me. Is this still available somewhere? Thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __
