It might make sense at this point to verify that your tool chain is
working properly by dowloading a source package from the BioC package
repository and running build and check to verify that you can generate
valid packages.

The HTML links not found is just a warning and I don't think that is the
problem.  

The problem I don't recognize is "Error 57" and zzzfirst.  I would
recommend testing a package that is known to build on Windows and see
what happens.
