I too have had problems with getting RWinEdt to work, I tried the above
command lines and got the following error:

> install.packages("RWinEdt")

package 'RWinEdt' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

The downloaded packages are in
C:\Documents and Settings\bosr\Local
Settings\Temp\Rtmp12772\downloaded_packages
updating HTML package descriptions
> library(RWinEdt)
Error in getWinEdt() :
WinEdt is not installed properly.
Either reinstall WinEdt or install R-WinEdt manually as described in the
ReadMe
Error: .onAttach failed in 'attachNamespace'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'RWinEdt'
Does anyone have any suggestions?
