Yes thanks; this is true for installing; the standard account does not 
give appropriate warnings and subsequent proposals for MikTeX package 
installation if missing, but does it as administrator. However,  that is 
part of the truth only (;-), now works fine as administrator, but still 
not under usual account (even after having resfreshed FNDB and updated 
formats... following Uwe's instructions, see earlier mails). Suppose 
matter of access rights. Will see that with our computer professionnals 
in the lab tomorow Monday morning...

Will inform the list thenafter in case it may help other users

At last found a way round... Actually gave administrator rights to the 
standard account. Then updated using MikTeX update (admin); new files to 
update appeared and these files were then visibly copied somewhere in 
the 'AppData' folder of the standard account; then rcmd Rd2pdf worked... 
Went back to the adminstrator account to give back standard rights to 
the standard account.

Works now !

Looks like there is sometting either weird in the way MiKTeX manages 
installation or weird in the way I manage with MiKTeX.
