Gabor, thank you for this link.
I think I'll check R versions with similar tests in .NET.

If you look at batchfiles
   http://batchfiles.googlecode.com
the Rcmd.bat batch file checks for the latest version of R in the registry
and Rversions.bat lists all the versions and Rversions.hta does it too but in
javascript.

Hi Mike,

I've tried your .NET R GUI, it's very nice !

I'll be really interested to take a look on it if you make it an open source
project.

How did you check the produces installed on the computer before installation
?
By searching exe files, looking in system registry, or another way ?
(I need to build an installation package for the software I'm currently
working on, and I don't know how to verify the installation of needed
softwares like R or R(D)Com Server)

Regards,

Julien Vanwinsberghe

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to send a quick note out to say that I've been working on a
GUI for R built on the .NET framework... at this point I've called it R.Net.
I ultimately plan to release it as an open source project if anybody seems
vaguely interested in it... It's based on the Rcmdr package by John Fox. The
difference is that I eventually want to make it a standalone install so that
users can just download a single .msi file or something with everything they
need and not have to know a thing about R going in to it. The program is
currently available on my web site here...

Of course, it requires R and the DCOM server and.since it's written in .NET
it requires windows and the .NET 2.0 framework - if you don't have this it
will automatically install it from microsoft.

I am a political science graduate student and so my effort so far has been
to make the interface behave (at least somewhat) like Stata and other common
packages used in the social sciences. My hope is to make R more accessible
to people who are hesitant about diving into a command line environment.

I should warn that a few of the features do not work right now- most notably
the ability to type in a dataset manually.  Because I'm busy with school,
I've just been building in features that I've needed for different
projects... With that said, I think it does have one or two handy features
to the interface... Also, for simplicity I've written it in the free version
of visual studio... down the road I'm hoping to switch it over to and write
an actual installer that could include R and DCOM so that it isn't as
confusing to install.

I'd certainly appreciate any feedback or thoughts anyone has some...

Thank you,

Mike Ryckman________________________________
