Problem
- To use RStudio in a restricted (no admin rights) environment (Win 10) I use the .zip "installers" of RStudio. Simply link the
rstudio.exe
to desktop wich works perfectly fine up until version 2022.07.02. - With 2022.120+353 there is just a short blip after executing
rstudio.exe
and nothing happens. RStudio does not start.- It does work on my private Laptop, but only after calming down Windows defender.
Potential issues
- As of Version 2022.120+353 Rstudio is based on electron, the last working version, 2022.07.02, was still based on Qt.
- I suspect that the change from Qt to the electron framework causes the zipped variants not to work (reliably) on Windows 10.
System Information:
- RStudio Edition: Desktop
- RStudio Version: 2022.120+353
- OS Version: Win 10
- R Version: 4.1.3 (>= 4.2.0 has issues with package downloads in this restricted environment)
Are there any leads what I could do to make the zipped versions work? Or is it best to wait until the kinks have been ironed out with the electron versions?
Thanks
