BlueSky Statistics: Error setting the “R_HOME directory path” preventing its start


I experienced the same problem as described in this post: not possible to set the "R home directory path" in Bluesky Statistics But I was asked to open a new question for my case.

The Problem:

When I start the newly installed BlueSky Statistics program the following error message appears:

Error: Cannot Launch BlueSky Statistics! Please make sure: R_HOME configuration variable is pointing to the correct version of R.

But setting the R_HOME path manually, (to the R Version that came with BlueSky Statistics) even in system variables does not make BlueSky Statistics work. (I took care that the path is set with correct "/" ).

My Setup:

What I have tried:

Possible Solution: The other thread mentioned a missing dll file belonging to .net. If someone could post a link to this particualte version of the dll or the .net download, I would be happy to try if that works.

I highly appreciate your help. Thank you!


Solution

  • The missing dll file is already in the newest BlueSky-Statistics-Open-Source-x64-v6.30.7341.34565.exe. Please try the following Try this, please rename the "R-core" to say "R-core2" under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ And now launch the BlueSky Statistics application.

    If you still see the issue rename the other "R-core" as well, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\

    And now launch the BlueSky Statistics application.
