R script error - The system cannot find the path specified

[geekay]

I have the latest PowerBI desktop loaded on Win2008R2.

PowerBI automatically and correctly detected the R folder location as : C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.3

I have also made sure that the above R folder is in the PATH

I have a simple R script as below:

x<-1:11
hist(x)

The Error message  I get is:

Error Message:

R script error.
The system cannot find the path specified.

Stack Trace:

Hi Geekay -

    Can you try the following workaround http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/R-script-unable-to-connect/m-p/12954/hig... .

I suspect this has to do with the location of the output data PBI uses for R.

Let us know if this works,

Thanks, Avi Sander (MS).
