Hi, I use a regular web hosting service to build a web site under windows .NET. Now I need statistical functionality on the site, and I would really like to use R for that. However, I'm not allowed to install anything (e.g. R) on the host. Are there any implementations/workarounds of R that doesn't need to be installed, just 'copied' to the server host? TIA // s [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

The likely reason for the restriction is so that you can't create security holes; you'll need to be careful to run R in a way that allows you to ask it to do the things you want without allowing users to ask it to do whatever they want.
