Quarto unable to locate R

Bug description

Quarto is failing to find the R installation on my machine. This fails from within R studio and when run from a shell. R is in the PATH and works as expected. R works fine within RStudio and compilation with RMarkdown also works.

So this fails. but R is definitely there and works.

C:\>where R

C:\>R --version

This even fails if I explicitly set QUARTO_R

C:\>set QUARTO_R="C:\Users\andrewss\AppData\Local\Programs\R\R-4.2.3\bin\x64\R.exe"

C:\>echo %QUARTO_R%
