Is this in your .emacs file?  If so, it should be

 (load "C:/Program Files/Emacs/site-lisp/ess-5.3.5/lisp/ess-site")

in parenthesis.  And you should restart Emacs after that.

It's enough to add this only to either "user variables for Quin" or to
"system variables".  I assume that you added this to the value of
Path, right?

And you need to restart Emacs after the change to environment
variables as well.

Well, nothing will happen unless you invoke R.  How did you do that,
after making all those changes?
