On Windows if you run the installer it will record its location in the 
registry, under *\Software\R-core\R\, where * is HKLM or HKCU, depending 
on what permissions the user had who installed it.  But some users don't 
run the installer (maybe because someone else installed it on a network, 
or they built it themselves) so that isn't completely reliable.
