Running an R script using a Windows shortcut

Question

I am trying to create an icon on my desktop (Windows OS). By clicking on this icon, an R script will be executed, which launches a GUI application (gWidgets).

Answer 1

Have you tried using the RScript command? I don't know how it works on Windows, but in Linux I would do something like:

Rscript --vanilla -e 'source("abc.R")'
