I am trying to run Rscript.exe from the command line. It is installed in: D:\Program Files\Microsoft\R Client\R_SERVER\bin\x64. I have added this location to my PATH.

When I run 

Rscript --version

I get the following:

'D:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

It is working fine from RStudio. Can't seem to find a solution other than installing in a separate location without spaces in the path name.

EDIT:

where R: D:\Program Files\Microsoft\R Client\R_SERVER\bin\x64\R.exe

where rscript: D:\Program Files\Microsoft\R Client\R_SERVER\bin\x64\Rscript.exe

set PATH:

  • My problem is different. R is in the PATH. – user3690467 Feb 15 '18 at 10:27
  • @user3690467 Please take a look on [What is the reason for '...' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file?](https://stackoverflow.com/a/41461002/3074564) The question itself is actually not related to programming and therefore off-topic for Stack Overflow. How to use the command line right or how to configure `PATH` right is suitable for [Super User](https://superuser.com/), but not for Stack Overflow. – Mofi Feb 15 '18 at 10:38
  • Hm, very interesting. `rscript` on command line should result really in executing `D:\Program Files\Microsoft\R Client\R_SERVER\bin\x64\Rscript.exe`. But this can't result in that error message. Either `rscript.exe` is a batch file "converted" (embedded) into an executable which is not good coded as not working in case of `rscript.exe` is stored in a folder of which path contains a space or one of these characters ``&()[]{}^=;!'+,`~<|>`` or an __alias__ is active on really executing `Rscript`. What does registry key `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor` contain? – Mofi Feb 15 '18 at 11:04
  • Does `doskey /macros` or `doskey /macros:all` output anything, especially a line starting with `rscript`? What does registry key `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console` contain? You are definitely not the first user with problems using `rscript` a space in path, see [Rscript file path with space](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48544345/). But your problem is different because even execution of `rscript` itself fails. – Mofi Feb 15 '18 at 11:14
