Re: [Rd] Strange install key for R

You might want to read MS Documentation if you feel this is an important issue. Best, Uwe Ligges Has there been some change in where the installer puts the key or are there situations in which the location of the key in the registry is somehow changed? (Note that the batchfiles do have two workarounds in case the user cannot or wishes not to access the registry but it would be better not to have to rely on those.) __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

You might want to read MS Documentation if you feel this is an important issue. For architectures I don't have I rely on users to provide feedback. On 64 bit Windows, the key is not being redirected by Windows. I assume that this is dependent on how one accesses the key. Perhaps redirection is supported through certain APIs and not others. At any rate, I am assuming from your answer that R is not involved in such redirection and am adding code to handle both sets of keys. __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
