I noticed a diference if we compare with the previous situation: now R and MikTeX are installed in the same folder (ProgramFiles) - in the previous situation R was in Program Files and MikTeX was in Program Files (x86).

I would guess the change of location isn't what solved this, but rather 
that the basic installation loads LaTeX packages on demand, so you 
probably get newer versions.

In this way I obtain a pdf manual usind "R CMD check packagename", but it ignores the \code{\link{function.name}}... I mean the function.name does not appear as a hiperlink although I use \link in the rd file.
