Sounds good.  You should be all set after that (and you may have to update Rtools).

[ Little rant: I find it fexing how the R-on-Windows FAQ said for years "do
not install in a path with spaces" (as I recall, in the context of "if you
want to develop R programs") yet the Installer defaults to precisely that.
As if the powers-that-be sabotaged it on purpose. ]

We tried to tackly this issue once by making the path quote-safe but
failed. My preference still is to leave it as is, but I acknowledge that is a
bother.  But at least And documented in the R-on-Windows FAQ and the Rcpp
FAQ.
