[Qgis-user] Error Trying to Run R Summary Statistics in QGIS 2.12.1

[Terry Morse]

The answer turns out to be that, while QGIS can extract and process layers from a zipfile, the R scripts can't. Once I extracted the layers and added them to QGIS, the R scripts worked.

(The results viewer opens, but all it contains is the heading, "R Output".)

I've tried installing R with and without the 32 bit files, and with just the 32 bit files (no 64 bit files), but the result is always the same: no results. The same happens with the R Histogram script.
