In particular, if applicable, can you provide sample data and sample R code to reproduce this problem? ###Please fill in### RKWard is available in many different packagings, and sometimes problems are specific to one method of installation. How did you install RKWard (which file(s) did you download)? ###Please fill in### ---Error Message--- Message code: r_engine_has_died The backend process failed to start with exit code 1, message: ''E:/Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. '. The R backend will be shut down immediately. This means, you can not use any more functions that rely on it. I.e. you can do hardly anything at all, not even save the workspace (but if you're lucky, R already did that). What you can do, however, is save any open command-files, the output, or copy data out of open data editors. Quit RKWard after that.

I suspect you had an installation of RKWard on this machine, before, and the installation is conflicting, somehow. Possibly it's simply an outdated application shortcut. 1) Where did you install RKWard? 2) Open the installation folder. Navigate to "bin" inside that. Is there an rkward.ini file in it? What's the content of that? 3) In the bin folder, locate rkward.exe and try to start that. Does that change anything? Regards Thomas

I am unsure why this should be a problem, but could you try moving the RKWard installation to a path without spaces (e.g. E:\RKWard), and test whether that helps?
