R Interactive doesn't do anything

[hyperplanes]

Please briefly describe what you were doing that led to the issue, if applicable: I downloaded Visual Studio 2017 with R Tools, created an R project, but I can't get it to run any code. The R Interactive window just says

Interactive Window is disconnected from R session. Click "Reset" to start a new session.

and if I click Reset it opens Rgui with the working directory set to the project folder, but still no code will run.

I also can't find anywhere to check the path to my R installation. It doesn't seem to be under R Tools → Options ...

If you have any screenshots demonstrating the issue, please include them as well to help us diagnose it better.

All listed R installations appear in R Tools | Windows | Workspaces. I am not sure what does it mean 'opens RGui' - does standard R application pop up?

yes, it pops up the default gui that comes packaged with R

You may want then remove association of RGui.exe with R files. See Control Panel > Control Panel Home > Default Programs > Set Associations
