Try downloading the RStudio daily build: http://dailies.rstudio.com

It worked for me on the second try after I tried everything else (updated R, Rstudio, Java, reinstalled rJava a million times, and followed all the stackoverflow advice).

The tip came from the RStudio support forums:

RStudio is indeed failing to read some of the start-up information normally provided by R here...

We have a potential fix for this in the latest daily builds of RStudio -- if you're willing, you can try downloading and testing from http://dailies.rstudio.com
