[R] invalid HOMEDRIVE

[Prof Brian Ripley]

It is (a not very recent) Windows XP update.  A simple search of the
archives of this list will find you a dozen or more answers to this
question.  The simplest is to add HOME=P:\Solomon (for some suitable path
that actually exists)  to the end of the target of the shortcut you used 
to start R.
