[R] Fatal Error: INVALID HOMEDRIVE

[Bill Vinyard]

I set HOMEPATH in "System" as you suggested...the same error occurs when I
try to start Rgui without appending "HOMEPATH=\"

BTW, I have a Dell Win2000 Pro laptop at home with all critical upgrades
installed and don't have the same problem.

The easiest solution appears to be appending the HOMEPATH statement after
the Rgui statement in "Target" of the icon properties dialog.

Well, using "set" in the shell only sets the variable in this current
instance of the shell.
It does not set the variable for all instances. And you are running in
another instance when clicking on an icon ...

You might want to set an appropriate HOMEPATH in your Control Panel (I
think in System).
