[ESS] [External] Re: ESS M-x R failing in a Windows installation

[Jeremie Juste]

To be clear, for my part I was referring to the latest MELPA version

"ess-version: 18.10.3snapshot [elpa: 20210307.735]

And once inferior-ess-r-program is properly set, I didn't experience any
trouble loading R and in using ess-flymake on windows.

Best regards,
Jeremie
