How exactly are you installing this package? From the error, it looks 
like you are just sticking the package into your R_HOME/library 
directory, rather than actually installing it.

On Windows, you will need to get set up to install packages, as the 
necessary tools aren't part of Windows. See the R-FAQ for windows:

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#Can-I-install-packages-into-libraries-in-this-version_003f

Note that the instructions for getting set up could be characterized as 
being terse. However, everything you need to do is clearly outlined in 
these instructions - you just have to pay close attention to what is 
specified.

HTH,

Jim
