R help - Oct 2007 - R WinEdt on Windows vista

Hi!

I was trying to install the RWinEdt library on a Windows Vista machine which had
R 2.6.0, WinEdt 5.4 and the RWinEdt1.7.8.zip file in the library folder under
the ...\R\2.6.0 directory. I am able to install fine form the local zip but I
can't launch winedt from within R for some reason.
> utils:::menuInstallLocal()
package 'RWinEdt' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked 
updating HTML package descriptions
> library(RWinEdt)
Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection In addition:
Warning message:
In file(file, "r") :
  cannot open file 'C:\Program Files\WinEdt Team\WinEdt\R.ver', reason
'No such file or directory'
Error : .onAttach failed in 'attachNamespace'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'RWinEdt'

I was hoping some one could help me interpret this error message,

many thanks.

Alex

have a look at the Tinn-R Editor which is IMHO a better Editor than Winedt+R

At first make sure that WinEdt is installed and registered.
Then, please start R with a right click (and choose start with 
Administrator privileges - don't know the exact english translation) and 
reinstall RWinEdt. Everything should work after that.

I just found out that there might be a minor problem with unregistered 
versions of WinEdt - and a fix will be committed shortly (but not that 
important, because people who do not own a copy can make use of other 
editors such as Tinn-R, which is better supported than my RWinEdt 
extension, I hope...
