I used R with WinEdt some years ago (I think it was on 98, may be even XP), and then moved on to other editors --- (X)Emacs, Tinn-R and Rcommander seem to do the job reasonably well with differing functionality. I had sent several requests to the WinEdt development team that I may even upgrade to a newer paid version (I am using paid version 5.5) if they can build in support for Statistical Computing with popular languages. They do not seem to be interested. I had thought Alex (the developer) being a Ph.D. in Math would have seen the market. I still use WinEdt for Stata; that is because Stata's built in editor is a bad joke for users, and I could never make (X)Emacs or Notepad++ work for Stata.

System/software info: R version 2.13.0 (2011-04-13) Copyright (C) 2011 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) WinEdt Build: 20071003 (v. 5.5) After installing the R package and attempting to load I get: > library(RWinEdt) Warning message: In shell(paste("\"\"", .gW$InstallRoot, "\\WinEdt.exe\" -C=\"R-WinEdt\" -E=", : '""C:\Program Files (x86)\WinEdt Team\WinEdt\WinEdt.exe" -C="R-WinEdt" -E="C:\Users\rvalliant\AppData\Roaming\WinEdt\R.ini""' execution failed with error code 1 > The WinEdt window does not open. I can open it manually (since the package installation created a desktop shortcut ("RWinEdt"). If a line of R code is highlighted in RWinEdt and sent to the R Console with Alt+p, the focus shifts to R console but nothing is copied. This has come up before in a message from John Seers on 2 Mar 2011. Uwe suggested this: "One installing RWinEdt the first time, please run R with Administrator privileges (right click to do so). Then installation should work smoothly with WinEdt < 6.0." I'm running WinEdt 5.5. I followed Uwe's suggestion but get the message above. Any suggestions?
