This isn't the default location for R 1.4.1 (which would be
"C:/Progra~1/R/rw1041/bin/Rterm").  The "Spawning child process: invalid
argument" is the error message you get when the Rterm program isn't found
[in Xemacs you get the more helpful "no such file or directory,
C:/Progra~1/rw1041/bin/Rterm"]

So my guess is that you need
(setq-default inferior-R-program-name   "C:/Progra~1/R/rw1041/bin/Rterm")

which works for me under Win2k, Emacs 20.6.1, R 1.4.1
