  This is very strange. Surely, it doesn't happens on our systems
  here. 
  Actually, library is located from RHOME and RHOME is 'computed'
  during the startup from the first argument of the main (which
  should contains the full name of the executable). It seems that
  this fails on your system. I will try to change this approch (if
  I remember there is a function in the Windows API to get the
  name of the current executable) but, in the meantime, please, could you
  check if R accepts the other command line arguments (since, and here,
  I don't see any other easy possibility, they are got from the
  other arguments of the main).

  g.

  (ps) A simple check is 
       (i) launch Rgui without anny arguments;
           in the console 
           > gc()
           note the Vcells number 
       (ii) invoke R using "yourpath\Rgui --vsize 12"
           in the console 
           > gc()
        Now, the Vcells should be different.
