R help - Aug 2008 - Opening R from Tinn without setting directory each time

Hi - I can access R from Tinn-R by going to Options->Main->Application/R
and
setting the search path, but each time I exit Tinn-R I have to redefine the
search path.  Is there no way of fixing that directory as default?  I have
installed R under its default directory C:/Program Files/R/R-2.7.1 and Tinn
under a variety of different places to try to rectify the problem though
currently under C:/Program Files/Tinn-R.  Any ideas what I'm missing?

Thanks

Paul

That doesn't make sense. Which version of Tinn-R are you using?
>From Options->Main->Application 
do you get a dialog box with a tab "R", and within that a tab
"General"?

At the bottom of the "General" tab there is a button under
"Rgui". That
should bring up a file selection box. Proceed to the location of your 
"Rgui.exe" which should be in the "bin" directory.

C:\Program Files\R\R-2.7.1\bin\Rgui.exe

Click OK. 
Works for me. I'm using Tinn-R version 1.19.0.2

Hi - someone has just e-mailed me direct with the answer which it'd be
helpful to paste just so future users who have the same issue can see.  Just
follow the advice below and it works perfectly.

Open a command window (Run;cmd) and cd to the bin directory of your R
installation (cd C:/Program Files....).  Run the program RSetReg.exe and
that's it, Tinn-R should be able to start R.  When you update R repeat the
process.
