At last found a way round... Actually gave administrator rights to the 
standard account. Then updated using MikTeX update (admin); new files to 
update appeared and these files were then visibly copied somewhere in 
the 'AppData' folder of the standard account; then rcmd Rd2pdf worked... 
Went back to the adminstrator account to give back standard rights to 
the standard account.

Works now !

Looks like there is sometting either weird in the way MiKTeX manages 
installation or weird in the way I manage with MiKTeX.
