Incorrect path created for Rtools

[jlaake]

devtools v0.8 sets the path to c:\rtools\bin\bin and c:\rtools\bin\gcc.. instead of c:\rtools\bin; c:\rtools\gcc..\bin

See detailed info below:

Sys.getenv("PATH")
[1] "C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared\OEM\DLLShared;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared\OEM\DLLShared;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared\OEM\12.0\DLLShared;C:\Program Files (x86)\Roxio\OEM\AudioCore"
library(devtools)
Rtools not in path, but I'm adding it automatically :)

Did you set any options when installing Rtools?

[jlaake]

I just used the defaults. I'll remove Rtools and reinstall to see what it
is setting.

Don't worry about reinstalling, I just wanted to know if you did something unusual.

Could you please give me the output of utils::readRegistry("SOFTWARE\\R-core\\Rtools", hive = "HLM", view = "32-bit") ?

[jlaake]

utils::readRegistry("SOFTWARE\R-core\Rtools", hive = "HLM", view =
"32-bit")
Error in utils::readRegistry("SOFTWARE\R-core\Rtools", hive = "HLM", :
Registry key 'SOFTWARE\R-core\Rtools' not found
I should explain that this is a Fed govt computer where they neuter
your prvileges to some degree. You can enter a password to get some level
of admin privilege but maybe it won't allow registry changes. Not sure.
Like I said earlier this is not my work computer and I was just using it as
a test bed. There will be lots of folks out there with a similar issue
however both fed, state and other organizations that don't allow full admin
privilege. That is why I use my personal computer and work outside the
system so I don't have this type of issue.

Thanks for that - I figured out it was a bug in the branch where the registry entry wasn't present (which isn't commonly tested).
