Hmm, it's been a while since I installed my R and Sweave, so I can't remember exactly how I did it, but I don't recall any particular difficulties. I think I had to copy the Sweave.sty to my localtexmf tree; I see it there now in C:\localtexmf\tex\latex\Sweave\Sweave.sty, in addition to having it in C:\Program Files\R\R-2.5.1\share\texmf\Sweave.sty.
I suppose instead I could have just put the latter directory in my MikTex as a local tree, in which to look for .sty files. I use MikTex too, and I don't use any particular editor; I write in TinnR but have used Programmers Notepad and others successfully. What do you mean you had to use, "notepad++ to tell Sweave where Latex.exe and yap.exe where located under MikTex path?" --Chris Christopher W.
