Current version

2014 April 02: Note to non-English users installing in Windows 8 (and possibly other versions):
you might need to use your native language's name for the path to "c:\Program Files (x86)" in the
RHOME variable.  See the new example below.

...

• Install radRXXXwindows.zip by unzipping it (using right-click then Extract all...) to a folder (e.g. a folder called radR on your desktop).
  
  WinZip Warning: if you are not using Windows' built-in "Extract all..." program, then you should verify that your unzip program has correctly created radR subfolders.  These should include at least: antennas, main, gui, packages, plugins, palettes, zones.  At least one version of WinZip has been found to incorrectly flatten this substructure and corrupt files.  The symptom is radR not starting at all, or starting with an error message about "strictenv" and then exiting.  Unzip programs known to work are the "Compressed Files" handler built into Windows XP, and the free Info-Zip program.
   
• if If R is not installed in its default location (C:\Program Files\R\R-X.Y.Z\bin), then edit the file
  radRX.Y.Z.bat in the top-level radR folder to change the first line from:

set RHOME=<the path to your R installation>

e.g. 

set RHOME="C:\Program Files (x86)\R\R-2.5.1"

for R 2-5-1 installed on the C drive under a 64-bit version of windows

or, for users with non-English versions of Windows:

set RHOME=<the path to your R installation, in your native language>

e.g. for Italian:

set RHOME="C:\Programmi (x86)\R\R-2.5.1"

e.g. for French:  (unverified)

set RHOME="C:\Logiciels (x86)\R\R-2.5.1"

for R 2-5-1 installed on the C drive under a 64-bit version of windows in a language other than English.
