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:

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).
