Forum, I've been running some parameter estimation software (UCODE which is maintained by the USGS) that has the capability of running models in parallel on a local network. Each additional processor I can incorporate into the parent-child network helps cut the overall runtime, which is currently on the order of days. When a signal is sent to a child (or slave) processor a series of commands take place, among which some R kriging commands are called from a batch file. I recently gained access to a new quad-core machine that is running windows 7 and for some reason when the R batch commands are invoked (or called) by the parent (or master) machine the following error message results: c:\...\>#Rscript KrigCommandsWithAnisotropy_US_Layer1.bat Warning: This script has only been tested on Windows XP. \R\R-2.11.0\library\JGR\jgr.exe was unexpected at this time. Running the batch file on Windows XP or Windows Server 08 operating systems works OK. However, I did have to change a security setting like so: Settings... Control Panel... Administrative tools... Microsoft .NET Framework Configuration... Right Click Runtime Security Policy... Choose Adjust Security... Next... Local Intranet and adjust to "Full Trust"... Next... I've been unable to find this security setting in Windows 7, but I'm not sure it is related to the error message quoted above. I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this kind of request. If I need to repost on R-Help I'll delete it here.

[Rd] #Rscript error on Windows 7 operating system
The message about XP you are referring to is a warning and not an error. Evidently, you are running an old version of #Rscript.bat from the batchfiles distribution. Try using the most recent version. The batchfiles home page is at: http://batchfiles.googlecode.com That should at least eliminate the warning. The message about jgr.exe is likely unrelated to the above. I can't tell from the information supplied what is wrong but you might try eliminating jgr from your setup. The security setting is likely related to your batch file and not to #Rscript.bat .

This is not really about R, is it? Few of us will have any idea what '#Rscript' is (it is not part of R), and the mention of JGR suggests that the third-party Java interface is involved (and that has its own mailing lists). Nor would R-help be appropriate: please ask the authors of #Rscript for help (and see the R posting guide, which asked you to do that first).

Gabor, I would like to thank you for referring me to the new #Rscript file. Apparently that is all it took to get my simulation running remotely on a Windows 7 machine. It seemed to have cured the jgr.exe hiccup as well.
