not sure about your idea for running the exe, with paths on the
commandline...
but regarding problems installing the exe and registry flim-flam, this is an
issue with the dist_utils python package used to create the rpy installer as
I have been informed....
my guess is that your most sustainable solution is to compile rpy and R and
install the python binary into custom locations (maybe a usb drive?) ,
registry be damned. Of course there are a few, albeit surmountable, issues
with that also.
