Fixed in R-devel. I will port to R-patched after more testing. Tomas On 04/26/2018 01:52 AM, Tomas Kalibera wrote:> Thanks for the report.

Thanks Tomas. I confirm the quick workaround works for me in the DOS prompt, and when having a shortcut to RScript in SendTo, and when used in the Task Scheduler. I have not tested the R-devel version, due to my unfamiliarity with installing from source code. -----Original Message----- From: Tomas Kalibera [mailto:tomas.kalibera at gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2018 6:34 AM To: Kerry Jackson <Kerry.Jackson at Ipsos.com>; r-devel at r-project.org Subject: Re: [Rd] Bug in RScript.exe for 3.5.0 Fixed in R-devel.

There are binary builds for daily snapshots of R-devel (development/unstable version of R) at https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rdevel.html At this time the build should already have the fix.
