I received this reply offline from William Dietrich and am posting it in case it might help someone else. His fix did get RWinEdt going, but, in my case, the tabs that should have the open file names are blank. This fix worked with WinEdt 5.5 but not v.6. In the end, I decided to switch to Tinn-R.
rv >>> "William Dieterich" < wdieter...@npipm.com > 06/30 11:11 PM >>> I had the same problem on the same system with RWinEdt. I finally resolved it by accident by launching R from the start menu (instead of the desktop shortcut). If I launched R with the desktop shortcut icon (as administrator) I would get the error you get when I attempted to load RWinEdt. But everything works fine if I launch R from the startup menu (as administrator). I think it has something to do with code attached to the desktop shortcut. When you install R it asks about creating a startup menu item - I think the problem is related to that. Sorry for the offline response but I am not currently subscribed to R Help. I couldn't resist giving a tip because this problem was a real headache for me too. William Dieterich, Ph.D. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Director of Research Northpointe Inc.

System/software info: R version 2.13.0 (2011-04-13) Copyright (C) 2011 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) WinEdt Build: 20071003 (v. 5.5) After installing the R package and attempting to load I get: > library(RWinEdt) Warning message: In shell(paste("\"\"", .gW$InstallRoot, " \\WinEdt.exe\ " -C=\"R-WinEdt\" -E=", : '""C:\Program Files (x86)\WinEdt Team\WinEdt\WinEdt.exe" -C="R-WinEdt" -E="C:\Users\rvalliant\AppData\Roaming\WinEdt\R.ini""' execution failed with error code 1 > The WinEdt window does not open. I can open it manually (since the package installation created a desktop shortcut ("RWinEdt"). If a line of R code is highlighted in RWinEdt and sent to the R Console with Alt+p, the focus shifts to R console but nothing is copied. This has come up before in a message from John Seers on 2 Mar 2011. Uwe suggested this: "One installing RWinEdt the first time, please run R with Administrator privileges (right click to do so). Then installation should work smoothly with WinEdt < 6.0." I'm running WinEdt 5.5. I followed Uwe's suggestion but get the message above. Any suggestions? ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
