R devel - May 2009 - Vista authorization issues (PR#13718)

Full_Name: David Kesling
Version: 2.9.0
OS: Windows Vista & XP sp2
Submission from: (NULL) (65.166.169.237)


I upgraded to 2.9.0 on my desktop (XP) and my laptop (Vista Home Basic). The XP
machine (with both Tinn-R and JGR) is running just fine... very happy. The
laptop is NOT doing too well. I've had to activate the XP-compatability mode
AND
run Rgui as administrator... and there still seem to be issues. Tinn-R, even
after reinstallation, will not properly communicate with Rgui. JGR can't
even
FIND R 2.9.

Again, 2.9 seems to run fine under XP and, with much struggling, under Vista.
But registry issues on the Vista platform have broken Tinn-R and JGR IDEs.

There is no bug in R, or can you tell us what is not working in R? You 
just told us that JGR and Tinn-R are not working. But you need to report 
that to the corresponding maintainers.
