When capturing the path to the current R binary, install.packages does:
cmd0 <- paste(file.path(R.home("bin"), "R"), "CMD INSTALL")
shouldn't that be
cmd0 <- shQuote(paste(file.path(R.home("bin"), "R"), "CMD INSTALL"))
to allow paths with spaces in them (which would be very common on windows)?

Isn't R.home() 8.3 path anyway?
BTW: I think you probably meant more something like paste(shQuote(file.path(R.home("bin"), "R")), "CMD INSTALL") since the above won't work ..

It is 8.3 on my install of 2.13.0 (release) and I get the same results with the current R-patched.

Weird. Like others, I see 8.3 pathnames. R gets those from a Windows call; what version of Windows are you using? Duncan Murdoch

... and how are you starting R? Startup goes through some contortions to handle all the different possibilities; maybe one of them is missing the path-shortening step. Duncan Murdoch

Ok, this was coming from R running within eclipse, via rj. (This is not my setup, but a collaborator's) Hadley
