Hi Holger, Unfortunately I can't reproduce the error you're seeing. Searching for "r system error 127" yields this StackOverflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/33647207/1664024 suggesting that you should use R's "shell" command in lieu of R's "system" command. I cannot confirm that this will work for you, as I'm not running Windows. I'm cc-ing the mailing list so that windows users can take over any further troubleshooting help.
