Research direction
Open vignettes/BiocManager.Rmd at the linked section around line 248 and compare the documented Windows command with the R_LIBS_USER form described in the issue. Confirm the command's quoting and the noted Rscript limitation, then update the vignette so the recommended Windows invocation is clearer.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The vignette suggests to use:
to launch R with R_LIBS_USER set that way. Not sure if you've already explored it, but R on Windows actually supports the following:
R R_LIBS_USER="C:\Users\USER_NAME\Documents\R\3.5-Bioc-3.7"
This has the advantage of (a) not having to mention cmd /C and (b) less error-prone since the value is quoted, which is needed for users with spaces in their Windows username.
The downside is that Rscript does not support this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/Wishlist-for-R/issues/110)
