R help - May 2011 - dealing with sweave.sty and pgfSweave

Hi,
I would appreciate some help with a very basic problem in using pgfSweave. That 
is, dealing with the sweave.sty file. After some googling, I did the following :
(1) copied the sweave.sty file to my trial folder and (2) added the line?? 
\usepackage{Sweave}?? to the Rnw file. Are there more elegant ways of dealing 
with this issue? 

I have read something about letting Miktex know about the path to the sweave.sty
file. How do I do this? I am a newcomer to Miktex and would appreciate some 
detailed instructions.

On running the pgfSweave commands in Tinn-R, I did not receive any error 
messages (though I got any number of them before I arrived at the two solutions 
mentioned above). However, on running the commands in Rstudio, I received the 
following warning message :
?In utils::RweaveLatexSetup(file, syntax, output = output, quiet = quiet,  :   
path to 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.13.0/share/texmf/tex/latex/Sweave'
contains
spaces, this may cause problems when running LaTeX
?
Short of reinstalling R in a separate folder, is there something that I can do 
to fix this problem?
?
I have R2.13 on a win XP pc.
Thanking you,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
There are a couple of ways to do it. See chapter 4 of the MikTeX documentation.

Best,
Ista

PS. List: Is there any reason why Sweave.sty should not be distributed
with the major LaTeX distributions (TeXlive, MacTeX, MikTeX)? Every
time I add Sweave.sty to my texmf directory I wonder about this.
