[R] Sweave and Miktex (Sweave.sty not found)

[Greg Snow]

I have found that if I put \include{Sweave} explicitly in my sweave source file then it finds the copy in the MikTeK folders, but if I don't then Sweave tries to add that line, but pointing to the R directory that caused the problem in the first place.
