I'm not sure exactly why you're seeing this, but the problem is that the 
current version of IRanges is 1.12.6, but biocLite is pointing you 
toward 1.12.5. I would suggest starting a new R session and trying 
again. In particular, open a DOS prompt and run

   Rgui --vanilla

perhaps proving the full path to Rgui, along the lines of

   "c:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.1\bin\i386\Rgui.exe" --vanilla
