I experienced the same problem as described in this post: not possible to set the "R home directory path" in Bluesky Statistics But I was asked to open a new question for my case.

The Problem:

When I start the newly installed BlueSky Statistics program the following error message appears:

Error: Cannot Launch BlueSky Statistics! Please make sure: R_HOME configuration variable is pointing to the correct version of R.

But setting the R_HOME path manually, (to the R Version that came with BlueSky Statistics) even in system variables does not make BlueSky Statistics work. (I took care that the path is set with correct "/" ).

My Setup:

  • Windows 10 Pro
  • 64bit

What I have tried:

  • I tried all solutions in the mentioned post, but none of them worked.

  • I deleted all other R versions and their remaining files from my hard disk and tried different versions of BlueSky Statistics.

  • I always deleted the BlueSky folder in the Roaming folder in between every try.

  • I installed the newest BlueSky-Statistics-Open-Source-x64-v6.30.7341.34565.exe and even the one reported in the other thread to be working anyways, version x64-v6.10.7107.24021, does not work for me either.

Possible Solution: The other thread mentioned a missing dll file belonging to .net. If someone could post a link to this particualte version of the dll or the .net download, I would be happy to try if that works.

I highly appreciate your help. Thank you!

The missing dll file is already in the newest BlueSky-Statistics-Open-Source-x64-v6.30.7341.34565.exe. Please try the following Try this, please rename the "R-core" to say "R-core2" under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ And now launch the BlueSky Statistics application.

If you still see the issue rename the other "R-core" as well, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\

And now launch the BlueSky Statistics application.

  • Today, a Saturday, I finally wrote an E-mail to the BlueSky Statistics support, and got a lightning fast response from Aaron, helping me with the solution you can find above by the user named Val Athaide. I only needed to change the name of the "R-core" folder under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ and the BlueSky Statistics Software started! – user19444 Apr 11 '20 at 21:09
