I have R installed in c:\Program Files\R and I use MiKTeX and texi2dvi to process my vignettes. I do keep my package sources elsewhere; e.g. I would keep the source for mypkg in c:\Rpkgs\mypkg . and I would install it into c:\Rpkg\library or once I am ready to use it in production into e.g. c:\Program Files\R\rw2011pat\library thus I don't think its necessary to relocate R itself.
