We also use this method on windows, i.e. zip up R
and use a batch file as the executable to unzip it
and run it.

Cheers

An alternative for Windows and R is to transfer the R as a
zip and using a batch file unzip it on the execute machine and start
running it. If you have special libraries you then then use R to
install them before running your R program.

We do this because we have Condor on student lab machines and have
no shared drives. Works real well.
