Running the app from there works fine.\r\n\r\nHowever, I notice that `/out/R/` contains 1.5GB of stuff... whereas the \"release\" zip files here on GitHub for either Windows 32/64 bit systems are considerably smaller (~100MB after unzip). Clearly a lot of the stuff inside `/out/R/` is not included in a \"release\" -- is there another script I can run to package only the files necessary for a \"release\"? Or what can we cull without breaking everything?"}}
