Hello, Sorry if this question was already asked (I though it was... but did not found the exact answer in the archives). I use R 2.2.0 and just updated to Firefox 1.5 (note that I already got the same result with Firefox 1.x.x) under Win XP sp2 US (full details of my config hereunder). When I try to use the HTML help search page, I can make a search: the message 'Applet SearchEngine started' appears in the statusbar and I got a result page, but that result page points to incorrect links like: 'file:///library/stats/html/ave.html' Obviously, that link should have been something like: 'file:///c:/Program%20Files/R/R-2.2.0/library/stats/html/ave.html'
Well, no, it should use the short names version (PROGRA~1 etc). I have the current Java (1.5.0_06), and I just tested installing the current 2.2.1 beta in C:/Program Files. Firefox 1.5 works for me there.
Any idea why the first part of the link is missing in the result page? On the same machine, using IE 6, it works like a charm (but I don't want to use that damn IE!!!).
