Yes, and if you want to rule our Rcpp / RInside you can try to embed R
directly without these two and see if you get your repl + plotting device
going without. There is some basic documentation about embedding in section 8
in https://rstudio.github.io/r-manuals/r-exts/ (more nicely rendered version
of the standard manual).

The manual also has a special section on Window -- and while do not do that
much in RInside and Rcpp that is platform specific it is always possible that
we have a bug here or there. That said, there have always been embedded uses
of RInside on Windows too. Good luck, and let us know if you find bugs.
