Several messages last week debated about a portable R with Tinn-R. I made such an app just a few weeks ago. It's called R-TinnR-portables and is available here: http://otan.ecoledelapaix.org/spip.php?article102
Simply unzip the file downloadable under the name "R-2.8.1TinnR-portables". You'll have R with a bunch of packages and Tinn-R. It runs from a USB drive and network drive (if the network drive is shared, you should disable tooltip in Tinn-T). What is original about this is that I wrote a full bash script (runs on GNU/Linux with wine) to create the zip archive for MS Windows. The advantage are: - you can customise your script. If you want to change something to your portable R, juste change the appropriate line, run your script and wait a little while. - you can build it on GNU/Linux (I tested the result on Windows 2000, XP and Vista).. Here are some small extracts of the script: # set up your mirror: mirroir="http://cran.cict.fr"; # just change this when a new stable R version comes out: dernierR="R-2.8.1" # you may add or remove basic R/Rgui components here: wine $dernierR-win32.exe /DIR='"'$pathWIN'"' /$interface /COMPONENTS="main, html, html/help, manuals, manuals/basic, manuals/technical, manuals/refman, tcl, Rd, trans" # you may add the packages you want here (instead of "..."): install.packages(pkgs=c("abind", "aplpack", "Cairo", ...), repos="'$mirroir'", dependencies=c("Depends", "Imports"), destdir="c:/RTinnRPortables'$aujourdhui'/temp", clean=F) Some comments in the script are in French, just ask me if you are interested, I'll translate them.
