Hi John,<div><br></div><div>I think you missed option 4:</div><div> - The list is filled with busy people and it slipped through the cracks. Sorry.</div><div><br></div><div>But, to the point of your questions:</div><div>
<br></div><div>1) When we first shipped Kepler 1.0.0, there were two windows installers: one with R included, and one without to keep the download sizes lower. You have the one without. We don't ship the one with R because of the licensing implications of mixing GPL code with our BSD licensed software. You can of course install it separately as you have done.</div>
<div>2) For R to work in Kepler, Kepler must be able to find it on the path. Your approach should work, but the Windows path is a tricky thing. Have you verified that you can run R from the command line and its found on the path? I suspect you have a problem with the space in the path to R -- maybe try quoting it, or try it with the 'Program Files' path component replaced with 'Progra~1'. In any case, if Kepler can find R 2.6.2 on the path, it should work.</div>
<div><br></div><div>On a side note, why are you using Kepler 1.0.0? Kepler 2 has been out for a while, has a lot of improvements and bug fixes over Kepler 1.0.0, and is supported. There are known problems with the R support in Kepler 1.0.0 that were fixed in Kepler 2. Can you upgrade?</div>
