that helped. it turned out the installer set completely wrong paths, namely to 
a non-existent drive K:

we had already found that for the .lnk file to rkward.exe, but the debug 
messages showed us that rkward.ini also looked for R on drive K:

yes, it was the whole message. i started R in cmd.exe then, this is what was 
returned:

<snip>
c:\RKWard>RKWard.exe.lnk
Debug: path of the process "dbus-daemon" seems to be outside of the 
installPath: "C:/Program Files/RKWard/KDE/bin" "C:/RKWard/KDE/"
Debug: path of the process "klauncher" seems to be outside of the 
installPath:"
C:/Program Files/RKWard/KDE/bin" "C:/RKWard/KDE/"
Debug: path of the process "kded4" seems to be outside of the installPath: 
"C:/Program Files/RKWard/KDE/bin" "C:/RKWard/KDE/"
</snip>

and by the way, i now see why windows users tend to send screenshots instead 
of text like above: microsoft successfully managed to make copy&paste from 
that console like impossible, "select all" was the only thing that worked and 
we had to strip the whole history. adding to that, magically translating 
folder names seems like a terrible "feature"; "C:/Program Files/" is shown as 
"C:/Programme/" in german, but using that path in cmd.exe caused really 
strange errors.

so in essence, the problem was wrong paths. the installer did not use the 
installation path selected at the beginning of the process.
