Have you tried to start a new R session

   R --vanilla

and then source each of the files in the 'R' directory of the package, 
along the lines of

   fls = list.files("c:/base/MyApp/R", full=TRUE)
   for (f in fls) { cat(f, "\n"); source(f) }

? Or can you provide more information about where during the 
installation the error message is generated? Please also include 
sessionInfo().
