Hello, R appears to assume that Windows drives have short file names (SFN, 8.3) enabled; for example, that "C:/Program Files/..." is addressable as "C:/Progra~1/...". Newer versions of Windows have SFN disabled on non-OS drives, however.
This means that if you install R on a non-OS drive, you - can't start R.exe from the command line. - consequently, anything that attempts to spawn a new R process also fails. This includes a lot of the commands from the popular devtools package. More discussion and background: https://github.com/hadley/devtools/issues/1514 I don't have access to bugzilla to file this there. Thanks and best, Zach [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
