442,"On 32-bit Windows, MGET fails to detect the presence of R 2.12.0 and reports a SoftwareNotInstalledError",jjr8,jjr8,"The full message looks like this:

    !SoftwareNotInstalledError: This tool requires R 2.6.0 or a later version, but it is not installed. Please download and install a compatible version from http://www.r-project.org/.

The problem is that R recently tweaked how it stores the installation directory and version number in the Windows registry. This tweak appears to have been introduced in R 2.12.0 and is related to R supporting 64-bit Windows, a relatively new capability.

The solution is to modify MGET's private copy of rpy to recognize the new registry settings.",Defect,closed,Medium,0.8,Core - R Interop,,fixed,,
