How do you update the R version in Revolution R Enterprise? - r

I just installed the latest MRO version (3.2.3)
When I open RGui, I see the following
R version 3.2.3 (2015-12-10) -- "Wooden Christmas-Tree" Copyright (C)
2015 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Platform:
x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)
However when I open up Revolution R Enterprise, I see that 3.2.2 is still loaded
Welcome to Revolution R Enterprise for Windows version 8.0 - 100% R and more...
Revolution R Enterprise for Windows Copyright © 2015 Microsoft Corporation
---------------------------------------------------------------------
R version 3.2.2 (2015-08-14)
How do I change this so that Revolution R Enterprise points to 3.2.3 instead of 3.2.2
I did a search here and on Google/Bing but found nothing.

You don't, at least not currently. RRE versions are tied to specific R version. 8.0 corresponds to 3.2.2.

R studio initialization stuck in an old version

I have installed the most recent version of R just some minutes ago (version 4.04).
But when I open R studio and run version in my console, it appears to be opened still using the 3.6.1 version:

How can I open R studio trough the new version of R I just installed?
You just have to uninstall the old versions of R gathered in your computer from the Panel Control and RStudio will initiate with the oldest version of R.

R Studio not using the newest R version on my computer

I installed R 3.5.3, then restarted my Windows 7 computer. Next I launched R Studio and ran the command sessionInfo() and am informed that R Studio is still utilizing R version 3.5.1.
R version 3.5.1 (2018-07-02)
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)
Running under: Windows 7 x64 (build 7601) Service Pack 1
I went to the Tools > Global Options > General > R Version and get a screen like this
(source: rstudio.com)
Although I could simply select the specific version of R I'd like to use (eg 3.5.3) I want R Studio to use the default version of R on my machine, which I'd always want to be the most current version of R on my machine.
How do I achieve this? I'm using the installr package to update R every six months or so. It seems installr doesn't force Windows 7 to realize I've got a new R version on my system.

Two different R versions and invoking of older R version

I recently installed latest version of R(3.3.1) on my mac but somehow the R is still pointing to the old R version which I had. When R is invoked in command line it show the new version but on typing version in R environmnet the older(3.0.2) is shown.
What changes should be made so as to update to newer R version?
Also I deleted previous versions directories from Frameworks.
Additionally probably because of this issue I get an error when I start R studio.

In Mac, point rstudio to the newer version of R using the RSTUDIO_WHICH_R environment variable.
export RSTUDIO_WHICH_R=/usr/local/bin/R

Rstudio hangs when loading XLConnect

I'm getting a hang in RStudio when I try and load XLConnect. It works find when I try from the same R console outside RStudio.
i.e. in RGui (64-bit)

Copyright (C) 2015 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)

But when I run in Rstudio the same R console hangs. I've confirmed that rJava loads so I think I have my Java environment correct

Appreciate any thoughts on what the issue is - it works fine on my laptop so not sure what's different

Seems to be an Rstudio issue fixed in the latest version - I updated Rstudio to 0.99.491 (from an earlier 0.99.x release but not sure the version) and it now works fine.
edit - although it sometimes still appears to hang but eventually the package loads?

Install R 3.2.2 for Mac OSX 10.7.5

It seems that CRAN will not provide binaries for 3.2.2 for OSX 10.6-10.8. The 3.2.1 binary is termed now legary binary.
Is there any way to get R 3.2.2 for a machine running 10.7.5 and has no option to upgrade past this OSX?
