? pdflatex.EXE: Bad file descriptor
This appears to be the problem. I'm not certain, but I would guess if
you look in the "C:/Program
Files/R/R-2.7.2/bin/Sweave-test-1.tex" file
you'll see a line something like this:
\usepackage{C:/Program Files/R/R-2.7.2/share/texmf/Sweave}
That line (which was added by Sweave) will not work, because
LaTeX does
not understand blanks in file paths. There are a couple of
workarounds:
Does the Windoze convention of using "C:/Progra~1/" to represent
"C:/Program Files/" not work in these situations?
No, it doesn't work. I think LaTeX doesn't like tildes in filenames any
more than it likes spaces. In fact, I think I got it wrong: we actually
insert something like
\usepackage{C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-27~1.2/share/texmf/Sweave}
But if we had inserted a path with spaces we would have seen the same
error message.
This is clearly a LaTeX or MikTeX problem, not an R or Windows problem.
The workarounds I gave appear to be the best solutions.

1. Install R in a directory that doesn't contain blanks.
2. Include \usepackage{Sweave} in the Rnw file you're
processing; this
will stop Sweave from adding anything. I believe we set things up so
that MikTeX will find it in the right place (though I don't
normally use
texi2dvi, so I'm not sure).
To test this, you can just go and edit the Sweave-test-1.tex file now,
replacing the long line with the short version.

You should also show us the results of sessionInfo() and
Sys.getenv("PATH"), and tell us which version of
LaTeX you have installed.
