Hello!
I have Windows 7 Enterprise and two versions of R installed: 2.15.3 and
3.0.0.
Before I had R 3.0 I made it a setting that all .RData files - when I
double-click on them - were opened by R 2.15.3.
Now I want them to be opened by R 3.0 instead of R 2.15.3 (but I don't
want
to remove R 2.15.3. yet).
I right-click on some .RData file, select "Open with" - "Choose default
program" and then click on "Browse".
I browse to the folder where my R 3.0 is installed, then to the folder
"bin", then to the folder "x64" and select "Rgui.exe".
However, when R opens - or after I shut R down and then double-click on
some .RData file and R opens, it is again R 2.15.3, not R3.0.
What am I doing wrong?
Of course, when I open R 3.0 directly, then it opens no problem.
This is really a question about Windows 7, not about R, but I would
guess you aren't telling it to make your choice permanent, or perhaps
you are not allowed by your administrator to make permanent changes to
file associations. You should ask for local help.
We've encountered this for our student accounts, and think it is a bug
in Windows 7. If you remove the relevant old Registry entries first it
should work.
