Error while running binding install script about r-bridge-install

[scw]

Hello @dlradke,

It looks like the script is having trouble picking up where your R installation is. Did you install R using the standard installer? Could you post the results of running the "R Installation Details" script in the toolbox?

Thanks,
Shaun

R not installed. Please install R prior to using

Failed to execute (RInstallDetails).

Looks like that may be the issue. I used the standard installer for R and its path is "C:\Program Files\R\R-3.2.1"

OK, it looks like the detection logic for finding your R installation from the registry is failing. Could you do the following to help me debug your issue?

1. Open the Run box (Win+R) and type regedit
2. From the Edit > Find dialog, search the keys for the string R-Core, as seen here:
   
3. On my machine (64-bit), searching for that string shows two locations:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\R-core
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\R-core

1. Once it finds a location, right click on the key named 'R-Core', and select export. That will create a '.reg' file, that's really just text. Attach the text contents of that file here (if possible).

Thanks!

Here is the result.

Hey Shaun,

similar to your computer, R-Core was in 2 locations. Here is the print out to the other one.

Still having no luck with the install.

Hello Dan,

We've updated both the bridge library, and the installer. Could you update from GitHub (or download the Zip archive again) and see if the newer release fixes your issue? I'm now checking both the 32- and 64-bit registry hives, which hopefully will fix your problem. It did on the one machine I had that had a similar configuration to the one you initially posted. If it doesn't work, also let me know and we can keep digging.

Cheers,
Shaun

Hey Shaun,

The install actually worked about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Not sure why but it didn't work in the morning, and then did later that afternoon. It seems to be working well and I've been able to start developing tools using R scripts. I will run the update script just to make sure I'm up to date. Thanks for fixing the issue.

I downloaded the new release and it now gives me an error when I try and run a geoprocessing tool.

Error in .Call("arc_warning", conditionMessage(w), PACKAGE = "rarcproxy") :
"arc_warning" not available for .Call() for package "rarcproxy"

I have tried to run the install bindings script and checked the override box and get this error.

Don't know what is going on but not thrilled that it is no longer working.

I fixed the install issue but I still get the "Error in .Call(..." when trying to run any geoprocessing tools, including the ones included in the zip file.

@dlradke D'oh! Sorry for introducing this issue for you. Fortunately, the fix should be easy enough. On your machine, R is installing packages into the "Program Files" directory, which requires escalated privileges to write to. We're aware of the issue and are planning a better fix, but for now, could you:

1. Close ArcMap
2. Right click on the icon you use to open it and select "Run as Administrator" and then try the upgrade script a second time.

Sorry again for the inconvenience. Note -- I wrote this prior to your second message, so see if it does fix it. If not, you can try reinstalling from scratch using the 'Install Bindings' option and select 'Overwrite existing'.

[dlradke]

Okay seems to be working now. Had a bit of a scare there.

Thanks for the help.
Dan

Great, glad the bridge is working fine now. I think we've resolved the original registry issue with the latest release, so I'm going to mark this issue as closed, but you're welcome to create a new issue if you hit any further problems. Feel free to contact our R team if you need any assistance, we're at [email protected].

Hi there,
I am now having the same error message for error in calling rarcproxy,
I was following the instructioins in the course
"_Part 1 of a two-part webinar series on integrating the statistical programming language R with Esri's ArcGIS for Desktop.

Cameron Plouffe of the Esri Canada Education and Research group covers several basic R programming concepts and manipulating data frames using Hadley Wickham's "dplyr" package, and then demonstrates how you can use the new R-ArcGIS bridge to interface directly to ArcGIS geodatabases within R.

When going through the Part 1 video of the course, everything seemed to go ok. It is when I tried to add the R script as a tool in arctoolbox (Part 2 of the course after performing the ANOVA analysis) that I had the message:
