 From http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/1.7/ReadMe:
"Some new packages are already prepared for R-1.8.x and do no longer
pass Rcmd check. The last working versions of these packages can be
found in subdirectory ./last"

And indeed, you will find a file
http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/1.7/last/lme4_0.3-6.zip

You have downloaded the source version of the package, not the binary 
version for Windows. You have to compile source packages before using 
them...
