Hello,

I am not sure if I have done something wrong or something changed between
12.2.2 and 2.13.0, but I just installed R-2.13.0 from CRAN install
executable on 64 bit Windows 7 Pro and when I try "Help>Manuals (in
PDF)>An Introduction to R" I get the following

Error: 'doc\manual\R-intro.pdf' not found

The same error occurs with all other PDF manuals.

That's a bug in 2.13.0 which has been fixed in R-patched. The easiest thing is probably to install R-patched (binary builds are on CRAN); another workaround (which will cause you headaches in the future, so I don't really recommend it) is to define the environment variable R_HOME set equal to the path to the R home directory in Windows format with backslashes. (The headaches come when you upgrade and it points to the wrong place.)

I have R_HOME (and RHOME) environmental variables set to
C:/local/R/R-2.13.0 (where I installed R).  Everything else seems to work
fine except for the PDFs.  The PDFs of course exist and are located  in
the C:/local/R/R-2.13.0/doc/manual folder.

The paths need to contain backslashes in 2.13.0. R-patched will be happy with the forward slashes you used.

Thanks in advance for any help.
