I will be glad to look into how I can help, but, is there anyone who has been able to get the combination of Rraphviz and the other pieces to work under windows? And, what version of Visual Studio would be appropriate? I am really needing back compatibility for 32 bit R 2.11, so if there is an earlier combination that would work, great. Also, in a 2008 post Jenny Drnevich posted help which suggested installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable. I suppose that is intended to help Graphviz function. Clues would be appreciated. Greg

I am really > needing back compatibility for 32 bit R 2.11, so if there is an earlier Hi Greg -- Have you followed the instructions in the README file in Rgraphviz 1.26.0 (this is the version for Bioconductor 2.6 / R-2.11), which say in part sing the Windows binary ------------------------ o. install Graphviz ***2.20.3.1*** Windows ***binary*** distribution from http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/stable/windows/graphviz-2.20.3.1. msi in a directory that we'll call $DIR. We use the following as an example: C:\Graphviz2.20 If you install it in other dir, just use your dir correspondingly. o. Add Graphviz' bin diretory to the user PATH variable, e.g., c:\Graphviz2.20\bin o. Check the configuration by starting a new DOS window and displaying the PATH environment variable, e.g., c:\> echo %PATH% o. Use biocLite('Rgraphviz') to install Rgraphviz ?? What goes wrong?
