unable to get "R CMD" to work as expected on a 64 bit windows machine
Hi Josh, Thanks for that, which directory needs to be in the path? There is a file called R.exe in C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.0\bin C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.0\bin\x64 and C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.0\bin\i386 I currently have C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.0\bin\x64 in the path (which is, I'm guessing why "R CMD --help" works), do I need the others in the path as well, and if so, in what order?

It sounds like Windows just doesn't know where to find R. HTH, Josh

Hi, I've just downloaded and installed R 2.14.0 using the windows binary on a 64bit windows machine running windows 7. Rterm / RGui work as expected, as does R CMD --help and R CMD BATCH --help however R CMD check --help returns no information and I seem to be unable to check a package. Various other options also seem to not be working as expected, i.e. R CMD REMOVE aa (where aa is just a garbage name) appears to do nothing (whereas the same command on a 32bit windows machine returns with a message that package aa does not exist.) Just invoking R on the command line appears to do nothing on 64 bit windows as opposed to starting a command line version of R (ala Rterm) on 32 bit windows. Any pointers as to what I've done wrong during the installation would be appreciated. Cheers Martyn
