John... I run multiple instances of R and RStudio on Win7 regularly. About the 
only poor behaviour I encounter has to do with updating packages used by those 
other instances.

However, I would never run R as Administrator under Windows. Too many bad 
things can happen if you do that. 

Vineet... please be specific about what command line you are using that leads 
to trouble. Look in the shortcut properties to figure this out if that is how 
you are starting it. Using the command line directly will let you try out 
different options such as --vanilla more easily. You may also need to look at 
your PATH environment variable (Sys.getenv("PATH")) to make sure of which 
version you are invoking.
