1) Install R on USB stick: Start R installer (named something like (R-2.x.y-win32.exe). During installation: i) Select drive corresponding to USB stick for location to which R is to be installed (i.e. if USB stick is drive DRV, then install R to location DRV:\R-2.x.y). ii) Customize startup: a) select SDI, everything else per default b) may be necessary to select internet2 as internet connection if sitting behind a proxy (but it is also possible to do so later, i.e o.k. to use the default) iii) Don't create a "Start Menu folder" iv) Don't create desktop icon or registry entries 2) Create a short cut to Rgui.exe (located in DRV:\R-2.x.y\bin\Rgui.exe) and move it to the top folder of the USB stick. Optionally, rename short cut (e.g. Raffle Draw) 3) Start R using the short cut. 4) Select "Install package(s) from local zip files" from Packages menu: select RaffleDraw_1.y.zip (currently y=1, but may change) for installation. 5) Select "Install package(s)..." from Packages menu: select appropriate CRAN mirror, then select gWidgets and gWidgetsrJava to be installed. quit R If this step does not work, then you are probably sitting behind a proxy. In that case, go to the short cut that points to Rgui.exe, right click on the short cut and select properties from pop-up window; add "--internet2" to the target (i.e. the target should read something like "DRV:\R-2.x.y\bin\Rgui.exe --internet2"). Click "Apply" and then "Ok" and try again. 6) Right-click on short cut and select properties from pop-up window; change entry for "Run:" from "Normal window" to "minimized". Click "Apply" and then "Ok". (Remove the "--internet2" option if it had been added) 7) Goto to the folder DRV:\R-2.x.y\etc and edit the Rprofile.site file located in that folder: add "library(RaffleDraw)" as last line (without the quotation marks) save file and quit 8) go to top folder of USB stick and double click on the short cut.
