Installation and Configuration Notes for R and RStudio

By default the app will install under a R folder in the Program Files folder.

Install the R language first, then RStudio using the zip installation..

Project Evergreen

Project Evergreen AppTracker provides information and sources for installers for RStudio only https://stealthpuppy.com/apptracker/#rstudio

The EXE installer for R (Language) may be silently installed:

For example: '/SP- /SILENT /SURPRESSMSGBOXES ' The application has file-based configuration that is not generally used.

Use '/S' for a silent installation.

Unpack into "$($env:ProgramFiles)\R"

Silent Install HQ provides no information on the silent install of this app.

This identifies the most commonly interesting configuration items in the application.

Preconfiguration is possible by grabing two files in AppData\Roaming\RStudio for use in your installation script.
- crash-handler.conf Can disable sending crash logs to the internet. Launch app to create the initial file.
- rstudio-prefs.json Can disable updates and/or set other settings. Use the Tools menu Global Settings to create the initial file.

The application installs into program files.
There are two shortcuts installed, one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit. They both point to an exe named RGui.exe in different folders.
There is a new FTA (.RData) that has a shell integration verb command.
There are no shell extensions, protocol handlers, or services.
