Hmm, it's been a while since I installed my R and Sweave, so I can't
remember exactly how I did it, but I don't recall any particular
difficulties. I think I had to copy the Sweave.sty to my localtexmf
tree; I see it there now in
C:\localtexmf\tex\latex\Sweave\Sweave.sty,
in addition to having it in
C:\Program Files\R\R-2.5.1\share\texmf\Sweave.sty.
I suppose instead I could have just put the latter directory in my
MikTex as a local tree, in which to look for .sty files.
I use MikTex too, and I don't use any particular editor; I write in
TinnR but have used Programmers Notepad and others successfully.
What do you mean you had to use, "notepad++ to tell Sweave where
Latex.exe and yap.exe where located under MikTex path?"

> I just got a new computer and had to reinstall MikTex and of course R and Tinn-R. In order to be able to generate PDF's with Sweave I had to install notepad++ to tell Sweave where Latex.exe and yap.exe where located under MikTex path. So,I have two questions:
> 1- Do I need to have a Miktex editor in order to use Sweave? I am not using the editor because I am generating my PDF's from R using Sweave.
> 2- Is Sweave able to find the path to Latex.exe and yap.exe by itself?
