DistWin 7.5 R2 fresh install has trouble finding R #214

Description

OS: Windows 11 (fresh install - new computer)
R: 4.2.3

Installed Distance 7.5 R2, opened Golftees sample project, tried to run analysis 1 and go the following message:

Two issues:

  1. (minor) the error message should say "... please set the path in Tools | Preferences | R Options"
  2. Distance should be able to find R, so it looks like something's perhaps different in the way the R path is stored in registry - perhaps it's a Windows 10/11 thing.

I manually showed it where R is (in R Options I selected "File containing R" to be "C:\Program Files\R\R-4.2.3" and the analysis ran no problem.

So all in all a minor issue, but likely one that's fairly easy to fix.
