The line is correct (I want Sweave.sty to be in $R_HOME/share/texmf),
but the install procedure had a bug which I have fixed a few minutes
ago. This caused Sweave.sty not to be copied to $R_HOME/share/texmf.

As a quick fix for 1.6.0: please copy Sweave.sty manually to
$R_HOME/share/texmf.

Another thing is the c:etcRrw1060 ... does R.home() work properly on
your system or do we have a problem there? 


Best,
Fritz
