What 'same problem'? (The posting guide asked you to retain suffiicent 
context.)

Installing R does not put Rcmd.exe on the PATH.  You have to do that 
for yourself: this has always been the case.

How to set environment variables (including PATH) is discussed in the 
rw-FAQ.

However, if you look in the R help archives at
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2011-October/293387.html
you will see that two answers to a message with the same subject had 
already been given.
