installation problem

Hi 

Tried to install version 2011  of "R" onto my XP
machine.   It installs 
fine, and I verified the checksums, but I click and
nothing happens? 
i.e  the icon pointing to RGUI.exe   does nothing?? 
any clues?? 

What happens if you run it from a command window?  Change to the 
R_HOME/bin directory (R_HOME is where you installed R), and run rgui.

Have you run R previously, and perhaps have an Rconsole file in your 
home directory, or the startup directory?  If that file gets messed up 
it can make R fail to start.
