I have R 2.6.2, and have tried downloading and installing the package 
"tseries". I get the same error when I use two different mirror sites:

 > utils:::menuInstallPkgs()
trying URL 
'http://cran.mirrors.hoobly.com/bin/windows/contrib/2.6/tseries_0.10-14.zip'
Content type 'application/zip' length 400799 bytes (391 Kb)
opened URL

package 'tseries' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

The downloaded packages are in
         C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local 
Settings\Temp\Rtmpk2jrvn\downloaded_packages
updating HTML package descriptions
 > library('tseries')
Error in dyn.load(file, ...) :
   unable to load shared library 
'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-26~1.2/library/tseries/libs/tseries.dll':
   LoadLibrary failure:  The specified module could not be found.


Error: package/namespace load failed for 'tseries'

There doesn't seem to be anything unusual. The package is installed 
like any other, and the required file is at C:\Program 
Files\R\R-2.6.2\library\tseries\libs\tseries.dll. It is 36,864 bytes 
and looks superficially okay.

Any ideas as to what's wrong here?

Thanks.
