RStudio issue on Windows #87

Open kaijagahm opened 1 year ago

kaijagahm commented 1 year ago
  1. Try to open a project in RStudio on the server
  2. Receive the following message in a popup dialog: "Choose R Installation. RStudio requires an existing installation of R. Please select the version of R to use. [X] Choose a specific version of R [...]" The 64-bit version is the only one that shows up, and it's selected by default, with no option to select any other version.
  3. Click "OK"
  4. Receive the following message in a popup: "Error Loading R. An error occurred while attempting to load the selected version of R. Please select a different R installation."
  5. Found this resource, which seems to address the same problem.
  6. Downloaded the daily build of RStudio from here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/rstudio-ide-build/electron/windows/RStudio-2023.05.0-daily-136.exe
  7. Attempt to install the daily build by double-clicking the .exe file. Receive a popup asking for Admin password. Enter Admin password.
  8. Get a popup that "RStudio is currently running, please close it..."
  9. Close all open RStudio windows.
  10. Repeat steps 7-8. Same message. No RStudio windows seem to be open.
  11. Open Task Manager by right-clicking on the Start button and then selecting Task Manager.
  12. Select RStudio and choose "End Task". Close Task Manager.
  13. Repeat step 7-8. Same message. What???
  14. There's some suggestion in the above-mentioned issue that installing a new version of R could help. So I installed 4.2.3. Put it into Users/Kaija/LocalPrograms or something like that. Setup wizard worked fine.
  15. Tried again to open the new RStudio .exe file--same problem as before.
