[R] Portable R in zip file for Windows

[Juan Manuel Truppia]

>From the R Studio downloads, look below the installers. This is off topic
however. If there is no zipped, no exe, no installation required of R, then
I thank you very much for your help and trolling.

(BTW, I think my question was pretty clear, concise and specific, I
appreciate that some of you tried to solve a problem related to what I
have, but I have already reviewed all options, and what I need is basically
a zip of a working installation of the current version of R that I can
download out of CRAN or a similar trusted site)
