[Rd] Cannot Install Custom Package On Windows7 64-bit

[Steve Pederson]

Thank you for the look with fresh eyes Uwe.

It was just the simple solution of opening a new command shell window. I
thought I'd tried that along with the multiple reboots, but it must have
been before I figured out the correct PATH settings.

And thanks for the CYGWIN reminder too. :)

All the best,

Steve

1. Do what it says and

set CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning

to avoid lots of warnings.

2. So far your PATH look good, but it may be messed up later on, hence tell
us what

echo %PATH%

returns and be sure you started a new Windows command shell after changing
the PATH environment variable.

Best,
