R devel - Nov 2009 - How do I bundle R with my Win32 Application?

Hi

I have managed to link R with my VC++ Project by generating a lib file from
R.dll using dumpbin.

Reference:

My Win32 front end works perfectly with R provided R, my package and the
dependencies of my package are installed on the target system.

Now I want to bundle R with my application. How do I go about doing this?
Simply copying the R files and creating necessary registry entries from my
installer seems to be a way to do it. But what if the user's system already
has R installed? Then how do I ensure that my package and it's dependencies
work without creating conflict with the version numbers?
