Bad path for R 4.2. beta when installed in the default directory on Windows

[dmenne]

Using R 4.2. beta on Windows and default path in C:/Program Files/R/R.... Compiling my package dmenne/breathtestcore. This path requires quotes around the path, which is correct in the first command line below, but not in the second. See

error: Files/R/.... (Program is cut off).

Ok when I move R to root

I think this isn't related to RStan. You need to install RcppParallel in a user library with a path that has no spaces, not under Program Files. Any package that needs compilation and links to RcppParallel will most likely fail with the same error.

Sounds ok. I normally have it installed in some pathless library, but since R installation suggested to use the default, I accepted it this time. Reminds me of the days when D. E. said installation using the default on Windows was not accepted anyway.
