You have quite the mix-n-match of versions here. That version of 
affylmGUI is quite old (current is 1.10.2), so it shouldn't be 
surprising that it doesn't work.

This has been said on this list about a gazillion times, but here it is 
again. When installing Bioconductor packages your best bet is to use 
biocLite(), which will get the appropriate version of the package given 
the version of R you are using.

Another alternative is to update Biobase using biocLite(), then do 
something like this:

repos <- biocReposList()
update.packages(repos=repos, ask=FALSE)

Best,

Jim
