You have to read the documentation; that's why I do ;o)

See http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/readme.html

Changes/New Features in 12.09:

     ESS[R]: On Windows, there is now a new customizable variable 
(currently called ess-directory-containing-R) to tell ESS where to look 
for the Rterm.exe executables. The name of the variable and the values 
it can take are both in beta and subject to change. Prior to this 
variable, ESS searched only in the default installation directory. 
Setting this variable now tells ESS how to find Rterm.exe executables 
when they are installed somewhere else.
