I installed native Windows and compile org-mode from git with that no
compiler worg ditty.
-- http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#compiling-org-without-make

Actually, in finding that page, it looks like it's been updated. I've
been using that compile-org lisp code in .emacs and now it appears
that functionality is included by default. Maybe I'll update via git
and use the built in stuff to see if that helps?

Like I said, setting org-babel-R-command makes no difference
(commenting it out and re-loading .emacs still produces the error).

Also, ess, as posted below, *does* seem to find my installed R
versions, so it doesn't seem to be an ess issue?


Any other suggestions to try?
John
