When I installed Rstudio, it indicated that I had not installed R

Hi everyone!
I had a hard time installing the software today. I updated r (4.2.2) and Rstudio (2022.12.0-353.exe) on D drive. When I open Rstudio, it said that "r does not appear to be installed". But latest r is here and can be used normally. However, I have installed them on D drive before without any problems.
What should I do? Please give me some advice because this problem is bothering me too much! Thank you very much!

I think you might be experiencing this issue:

### System details RStudio Edition : Desktop RStudio Version : RStudio 2022.12.0+353 OS Version : Windows 11 Enterprise Edition Build 25267 R Version : 4.2.2 ### Steps to reproduce the problem The problems occur after updating the RStudio to the latest version from RStudio 2022.07.02-576 ### Describe the problem in detail After downloading and installing the latest [RStudio 2022.12.0+353](https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/) , the Rstudio ask me to specify the R version that was installed in my machine. However, even though I have tried to point to the R installation path (R 4.2.2), the RStudio still failed to open and give an error failed to load the selected version of R. You can find similar issue that I have in this [post](https://community.rstudio.com/t/rstudio-installation-problem/155358) ### Describe the behavior you expected  - [x ] I have read the guide for [submitting good bug reports](https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/wiki/Writing-Good-Bug-Reports). - [x ] I have installed the latest version of RStudio, and confirmed that the issue still persists. - [x] If I am reporting an RStudio crash, I have included a [diagnostics report](https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200321257-Running-a-Diagnostics-Report). - [x] I have done my best to include a minimal, self-contained set of instructions for consistently reproducing the issue.

It seems there is still no solution but a workaround is to downgrade your RStudio version while it gets fixed.

    Thanks for your advice. I downloaded and installed the Rstudio (2022.07.2-576.exe), then the problem no longer exists.  
   Thanks again!
