Has anyone had success building a package on a windows machine?
I am trying the following command with no luck (perhaps my flags are
incorrect?). At this point I am stuck. Any help greatly appreciated.

(BTW - I have no idea why it cannot find sh.exe since I have it is a
directory that is specified in a path statement)
H:\R\bin>rcmd build --binary --use-zip h:\taxon2

Are you using the recommended R tools, or Cygwin? Stay away from Cygwin, at least for R.

You\'ll probably need sh.exe in c:\\bin. I\'ve also found that if you have ever installed cygwin you need to uninstall it and remove references to cygwin from your registry (not that I\'m recommending editing your registry).
