So I'm trying to run some R scripts via cmd directly using

Rscript.exe "C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\test.R"

but it fails every time with the same error :

Fatal error: cannot open file 'C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\test.R': Permission denied

However, if I run it via

R CMD BATCH "C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\test.R"

Then it works. Do you know why Rscript cannot reach the file ? I would really like to use this rather the R CMD BATCH approach. Everything is in the PATH and I tried moving the .R script file around to no avail.

Thanks!

Does `Rscript --help` run fine? – Roman Luštrik Aug 03 '17 at 07:35
Yes, seems like it does. – Havimo Aug 03 '17 at 08:41
in fact, I can run commands like `Rscript -e rnorm(1)` and it will work with no issue. It just looks like it cannot open a file. – Havimo Aug 03 '17 at 11:47
