I've never heard of 'Portable MikeTex'. Is this (Portable) MiKTeX?
What you are doing wrong is declaring texidvi to be pdflatex, and it
simply is not. I think what you actually want is to include the
MiKTeX bin directory in your path, or to set options(texi2dvi=) to the
path to texi2dvi.exe (and that may still require the MiKTeX bin
directory in the path).

Hello, I am trying to start using Sweave. I copy the example from help Sweave
testfile <- system.file("Sweave", "Sweave-test-1.Rnw", package = "utils")

options(device.ask.default=FALSE)
## create a LaTeX file
Sweave(testfile)

You can now run LaTeX on 'Sweave-test-1.tex'

I installed Portable MikeTex in E:/PortableUSB/PortableApps/MikeText
I modified Rprofile.site with
.First <- function() {
Sys.setenv("JAGS_HOME"=replace.substring.wild(R.home(), "R-*", "JAGS-1.0.3"))
Sys.setenv("LATEX"=replace.substring.wild(R.home(),"R*","PortableUSB/PortableApps/MikeTex/miktex/bin/latex.exe"))
Sys.setenv("PDFLATEX"=replace.substring.wild(R.home(),"R*","PortableUSB/PortableApps/MikeTex/miktex/bin/texi2dvi.exe"))
}
Can somebody tell me what other environmental variables to add? or what I am
doing wrong?
Thanks
