Hi Mike, As long as you have access to some user folder, you can download a non-install version of RStudio. Go to the page http://www.rstudio.com/ide/download/desktop and select "Show zip/tarball downloads", download, extract, and run. Do believe Yihui that running an example using RStudio saves you a lot of time.
