Rcmd ?

Hi,

I tried running Rcmd.exe to no avail. It doesn't even start because it tries
to read some memory address that NT says it can't and terminate.

I tried downloading and reinstalling rw1020sp.zip with the installer twice
just in case it got corrupted somehow in transport but it resulted in the
same problem.

What should I do?

platform i386-pc-mingw32
arch     x86
os       Win32
system   x86, Win32
status
major    1
minor    2.0
year     2000
month    12
day      15
language R

Thanks

Shorten your PATH, please, as it's the same problem as rwinst.exe.
It needs to be less than 264 chars.  Alternatively, get

http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/RWin/Rpre/rw1021sp.zip

and extract Rcmd.exe from it (but please don't use anything else).

Ok I can do that (get the new file) no problem. I don't understand the
relation with rwinst.exe. I've install R1020 with rwinst and it worked fine
with the same environment PATH string. I just updated it to the new R
location and did the same to RHOME. I even used it again to add packages
with no problems. But rcmd doesn't even start and you say that rwinst should
not work either with this long path is that it?

Regards

Yves Gauvreau

PS. I got the new rcmd.exe as you suggested and it works fine now. (Thanks)

We replaced rwinst.exe after a couple of days and several reports.
The original one failed if RHOME was not set and the PATH was over 264
chars and you tried to install a package.

Perhaps I should stop trying to explain why, and just say what to do.
