Path to R installation

[breidan]

Hi everyone,
we run here in a corporate network R and RStudio in a Microsoft App-V environment. When opening in RStudio the menu Tools->Global Options...->R Version a window opens with many paths to choose from. The majority of those paths lead nowhere and that is confusing for our users.

Is there any way to influence this path list during install of RStudio or afterwards?

Any help is welcome.

RStudio reads this information from the registry, so you can get rid of this path list by removing the relevant registry entries (provided of course that they are not used by other software).

Thanks for the reply. The thing is I already searched the registry and could not find any entries which would correlate with the entries in the path list of RStudio. The only entry I could find was a key with this value:

22:\SOFTWARE\R-core\R\InstallPath
