[R] unable to get "R CMD" to work as expected on a 64 bit windows machine
Hi, I've just downloaded and installed R 2.14.0 using the windows binary on a 64bit windows machine running windows 7. Rterm / RGui work as expected, as does R CMD --help and R CMD BATCH --help however R CMD check --help returns no information and I seem to be unable to check a package. Various other options also seem to not be working as expected, i.e. R CMD REMOVE aa (where aa is just a garbage name) appears to do nothing (whereas the same command on a 32bit windows machine returns with a message that package aa does not exist.) Just invoking R on the command line appears to do nothing on 64 bit windows as opposed to starting a command line version of R (ala Rterm) on 32 bit windows. Any pointers as to what I've done wrong during the installation would be appreciated.

Hi Martyn, My guess is that you need to add the directory where R is located to your Windows PATH variable. It sounds like Windows just doesn't know where to find R.
