[R] Rwinst.exe problems

I've heard from several users who report no difficulties using the
Rwinst.exe installer for the released version of 1.2.0. I've blown away
all traces of 1.2.0 on my system and have re-downloaded all 10 zip files
and the installer on both my NT and Win2K boxes. The memory-overwrite
error persists on both systems, suggesting that there is some
incompatibility between the 1.2.0 installer (and, BTW, the 1.2.1 and 1.3.0
installers as well, but *not* the 1.1.1 version). The error specifically
occurs on all versions whenever I click on the radio button labelled "an
add-on package", but not on the button to install the base software.
I'm trying to isolate software commonalities between the two machines that
might explain this problem. I've cc'd Brian Ripley on these messages in
hopes that I might ascertain whether the rwinst.exe installer makes use of
any system dependent .dlls that might have been overwritten during recent
upgrades to the latest MSIE security patches, Microsoft Office Service
Releases, or Norton Antivirus engine and virus signatures. These are the
most plausible culprits.
Thanks.
