[R-SIG-Mac] "R" software for Mac - Silent installation question

[Duncan Murdoch]

This isn't the address for the R Foundation, but in any case, it would 
have nothing to say about your question.  It's about funding for 
R-related projects, not debugging third party software.

This email list is about community discussions on using the R build on 
MacOS.  So there's a chance that someone here has used ManageEngine and 
will be able to help you, but I haven't ever seen it mentioned before, 
so that might not happen.

In that case I think what you need to do is talk to the support people 
at ManageEngine.  If that doesn't work, they appear to have a number of 
community discussion forums, and those might help.

Another possibility is that you could contact Posit, who sell and 
distribute RStudio.  If you are trying to install it as well as R, then 
they'd have an interest in helping you.
