http://bit.ly/agXHZ3 has details -- I don't see the point of duplicating them here. Information requested that isn't on the blog entry:

R version 2.11.1
Windows 7
KDE 4.4

R starts normally, both GUI and console versions on Windows7. Not sure about KDE, if I have time today, will test and report.-- Labels: user interface --

RKWard works just fine on Windows 7, here.

Note that on the first start of a KDE application, you will be prompted for system/admin access in order to update mime database and configuration, in two separate prompts. IIRC it is not strictly necessary to allow the access, but naturally, you need to provide some answer to these prompts. So as the very first thing, please try again, and watch out for any prompts popping up, possibly hidden behind other windows.

If that does not work, please download, install, and try the binary installation bundle \(see http://p.sf.net/rkward/windows\), in order to rule out any problems with mismatching versions of R, KDE and RKWard.

If that still does not work, the error 0xc000007b appears to be not entirely unknown on the internet, for a wide range of applications. Causes appear to include certain malware, but also a restrictive setup of ZoneAlarm. To rule out at least some of these causes, please try starting windows in "Safe mode" and see if RKWard can be started, then.

If everything fails, it will indeed be interesting to know, whether you can start any other KDE application \(such as kwrite.exe\).

Regarding RKWard on the Mac, have you actually tried, or does "it doesn't run at all" mean, there is no end-user friendly installation method \(which there really isn't so far\)?

Regards
Thomas

P.S.: Thanks for taking the time to report this. But admittedly, "blog first, ask questions later" does make my eyebrows go up a bit.

This is with the "Standard installation: complete installation bundle". I also then downloaded R and KDE separately and received the same error. KWrite starts normally. RKward still does not. I wonder if it's a 64/32-bit issue? R is 64-bit, not sure about KDE. And I still get 0xc000007b, even in safe mode. 

As for your PS, I couldn't run any diagnosis at work, so I blogged it and filed a bug, now that you've responded, I can do further diagnosis. R on its own runs without difficulty. So does KWrite \(with the two admin access requests\).

Closing, as this report is very old, and no further information has been forthcoming.
