I don't think it is, and I would follow Enrico's lead here.
Your (from description) Windows system appears confused about where to find
R, and doubly so as a 32/64 bit convention is dead, and there is only 64bit.
On operating systems that use $PATH you can _always_ just point to a working
R by pointing RHOME/bin so that the right R is found. It has been years since
I worked on Windows but it got the R I wanted when I told ESS in no uncertain
terms which one I wanted. It seems to me you would be well advised to try the
same if you have confusing choice of multiple R versions to confuse ESS with.
(I am not trying to be snarky here. I am simply trying to describe what seems
to me to be the 'straightest arrow' to getting this working given the
circumstances. Good luck either way!)
