Description
I've got R v4.2.0 and Quarto downloaded this week. When I run quarto check in the Windows command prompt, I get an error that regdmp cannot fetch the hkey_local_machine... relevant to the R installation. I can open regedit and see that the desired path regdmp is looking for is there, and that it contains the right install path for R, but the "access denied" message is stopping me in my tracks. What shoudl I try next?
