R help - Oct 2011 - Tinn-R

I am new to R and have recently tried Tinn-R with very mixed and unexpected
results.  Can you point me to a Tinn-R tutorial on the web or a decent
reference book?

Thank you for your help;

In my experience, TINN-R does not work so well, and most new users are
recommended to try instead Notepad++ with the addon components
R2notepad++ or Rstudio.  I have MS Windows setup tips here

http://web.ku.edu/~quant/cgi-bin/mw1/index.php?title=Windows:AdminTips

Until I see evidence otherwise, I'm concluding that TINN-R was the
best in 2008, but it is harder to configure now and there's no reason
to prefer it over Notepad++.  "Real Men"[tm] still use Emacs, but new
users may not have enough muscles :)

*Paul,

I didn't understood your problem with tinn-r.

I don't work at a lab, so i have no idea how it can be your specific
problem. I think it has a problem with R + Win 7 that is about the changes
in the permissions at Program Files folder. What am i doing to cheat this
problem.

1) Install R and Tinn-R at c:/MyProgs
2) Change the security permissions and give all full control to all users in
the machine and apply the new settings.
3) Open Tinn-R and configure the Rprofile.site file. **(R >> Configure
>>
Permanent) If it necessary you can change some parameters or put some
packages to load by default and you can change the default Cran mirror.
4) Open R inside tinn-r and wait to install all packages

What version of tinn-r and R are you using? I'm using R version 2.13.1
(2011-07-08) in 32bits and 64bits at the same machine with Tinn-R 2.3.7.1

Yep, you have to configure TINN-R when you install a new release of R.
**
In the Option >> Application >> R you have an option to use i384 or
x64. I
didn't understood the problem of the changes in the R path.
