[R] Start preferred RGui
Dear R users, I have been having a problem since I installed the new versions of TinnR and R on my computer (1.19.4.7 and 2.6.0 respectively). I used to open R by the command start preferred RGUI, on the R tab of TinnR's menu. But now, since I updated both softwares (which was necessary for some compatibility issue with Windows Vista), the path for my preferred RGui ( C:\Program Files\R\R-2.6.0\bin\Rgui.exe) changes every time I close Tinn-R to the incomplete path \bin\Rgui.exe. I have to re-set it then everytime I open it... Is anyone having a similar problem? Any suggestions?

Re: [R] Start preferred RGui
Hi, See https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1741502forum_id=481901 This is a bug in the current version of Tinn-R (1.19.4.7). As far as I know version 1.19.5.0 hasn't been released yet. The workarounds suggested by JCFaria and Dean don't work for me. I still have to reset the RGui path each time I start Tinn-R. I anyone else has any suggestions, I'd appreciate them!

Re: [R] Start preferred RGui
I haven't used TinnR but in batchfiles http://batchfiles.googlecode.com the Rversions.hta script will bring up a dialog showing you which versions of R you have, according to the registry, and it will let you set the default version of R by setting the registry appropriately. If TinnR uses the registry in absense of the path setting then that would do it.

Re-installing R did the trick for me a while ago, don't know if this still works with the current Tinn-R version. Ptit_Bleu wrote: Hello Marcia, I had a similar problem when I updated Tinn-R.

Re: [R] Start preferred RGui
Hi All, This didn't work for me :-( [Tinn-R 1.19.5.7, R 2.7.0, Windows Server 2003, Standard x64 Edition] When I edited Tinn.ini to have the right path it worked the first time I startedd Tinn-R, but when I closed Tinn-R it replaced Tinn.ini with a new file without my edits, so the next start of Tinn-R had lost the path to Rgui again. Effectively, this is much the same as when I tried editing sPathRGui= to the correct path. I guess (which means I'm probably wrong) this was the bug introduced at Tinn-R 1.19.5.7, it overwrites Tinn.ini, replacing some customisations with (incorrect) defaults. Never mind, still a nice tool. Keith J Ptit_Bleu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello Marcia, I had a similar problem when I updated Tinn-R.

Re: [R] Start preferred RGui
You are right Keith : it doesn't work. Sorry. In fact it works for a previous version but not for the new ones. Bad luck. Nice week-end anyway, Ptit Bleu. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Start-preferred-RGui-tp18400190p18404597.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
Re: [R] Start preferred RGui
After installing a new version of R, start a console session, cd to the bin subdirectory of the new R installation (C:\Program Files\R\R-2.7.1\bin in my case) and run the program RSetReg.exe. This will update your registry entries and Tinn=R should find the correct version of R. If you have kept your old version (recommended if you have packages loaded until you have verified that the packages run under the new system) and you want Tinn-R to load the old version repeat the process from the bin subdirectory of your old R installation This works with XP and I presume that it works with Vista if you have your permissions set appropriately Best Regards John Best Regards 2008/7/11 Ptit_Bleu [EMAIL PROTECTED]: You are right Keith : it doesn't work.
