I wouldn't say that was a bug -- another unimplemented feature
(well, now implemented), namely searching the Windows registry for
Rgui.exe when it's not in the path.
A minor bug that is still hanging on:
Using Tools > Start GNU R results in an error message: "File not found.",
but R is still started correctly, and in the in Tools > Preferences

After closing R and using Tools > Start GNU R again, the error message has
disappeared and R starts correctly.
However, after closing gretl and restarting it the path to R has again
disappeared...
I guess that means you don't have permission to write registry
entries under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. In today's snapshot I have moved
the relevant entry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. You might see if you're
able to get settings to stick now.
When saving the registry entry is enabled, you should only get the
"File not found" error once, the first time you try (unless you
type the correct path to Rgui.exe into gretl's Preferences
dialog).
Allin.
