Hi there, I'm very interested in using RFortran for agent-based modeling in
economics. I'm attempting to install it on Windows 7 and running into trouble
which seems to have been already reported.
Has there been any progress on rectifying the Windows 7 installation issues?
Please advise. I'm very excited about the prospect of using Fortran to call R
through the interface you've developed.
Warm regards,
Abe Burnett

I should specify: I'm attempting to use Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, R
2.12.1, and Intel Visual Fortran 12.

This problem typically occurs because Windows 7/Vista do not allow users
without administrator rights to modify any files/folders in C:\Program Files\
directory.
This causes the following problems:
(a) The RFortran v.2.1.2 installer installs RFortran to C:\Program Files\ -
and then tries to modify it - which causes problems. As of RFortran v3.0 - the
installer requests the user to provide a folder to avoid this problem
(b) The RFortran installer also trys to modify the Rprofile.site file in the
R_HOME\etc folder. If R is installed in C:\program files\ this can cause
problems.
Though if RFortran is installed with a user with administrator rights, this
issue is usually avoided.
