Hi John, I think you missed option 4: - The list is filled with busy people and it slipped through the cracks. Sorry.
But, to the point of your questions: 1) When we first shipped Kepler 1.0.0, there were two windows installers: one with R included, and one without to keep the download sizes lower. You have the one without. We don't ship the one with R because of the licensing implications of mixing GPL code with our BSD licensed software. You can of course install it separately as you have done. 2) For R to work in Kepler, Kepler must be able to find it on the path. Your approach should work, but the Windows path is a tricky thing. Have you verified that you can run R from the command line and its found on the path? I suspect you have a problem with the space in the path to R -- maybe try quoting it, or try it with the 'Program Files' path component replaced with 'Progra~1'. In any case, if Kepler can find R 2.6.2 on the path, it should work. On a side note, why are you using Kepler 1.0.0? Kepler 2 has been out for a while, has a lot of improvements and bug fixes over Kepler 1.0.0, and is supported. There are known problems with the R support in Kepler 1.0.0 that were fixed in Kepler 2. Can you upgrade?
