[Rd] RSetReg.exe

2013-02-16 Thread Gabor Grothendieck 
R.exe, Rgui.exe, Rcmd.exe and Rscript.exe all support the --help
argument but RSetReg.exe --help ignores the argument and attempts to
set the registry key.  Since one might try this as a first attempt to
figure out what the command is all about this seems a bit dangerous.
It would be nice if it responded to --help as the other R*.exe
commands do.

[Rd] RSetReg.exe

2006-04-25 Thread Henrik Bengtsson (max 7Mb) 
R v2.3.0 patched from today: Was just checking out the RSetReg.exe
application after reading about it in R for Windows FAQ:

After installation you can add the Registry entries in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE by running RSetReg.exe in the bin folder, and
remove them by running this with argument /U. Note that this requires
administrative privileges and neither sets up nor removes the file
associations.

I tried RSetReg /? and erased(!) my R settings:

RSetReg /?
unregistering R ... succeeded

RSetReg /G
unregistering R ... succeeded

RSetReg /foobar
unregistering R ... succeeded

RSetReg anyargument
unregistering R ... succeeded

It is easy enough to get the default settings back, by

RSetReg

but a simple check for '/U' would be better.

Note that there also exists a front end to RSetReg that is
may be useful if you have multiple versions of R installed
at the same time, found in:

   http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/batchfiles/

with the most recent version being: batchfiles-0.2-7.zip

There is a command line version, Rversions.bat, and a GUI version,
Rversions.hta .  Run them without args to see what versions of R you
have.   Both can also set the version as well. See the README for
instructions.
