Hi Xinan --

I haven't tried this yet, but the package source file

http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.7/bioc/src/contrib/Rgraphviz_1.28.0.tar.gz

contains a file README saying in part

This version will not work with Vista 64 bit, so the user will
need to compile from source, and in addition make sure that a version
strictly greater than 2.22 is used.

It then has instructions for installing Rgraphviz from source. This
requires the tools at
