Hi, 
 
I have problem loading Rgraphviz. Following the instructions specified by the README in Rgraphviz_1.20.3.tar.gz didn't help either. 
 
o. set the following Windows environment variables accordingly
   (control panel -> systems -> Advanced -> Environment Variables ):
   (a) create new user variables:
     GRAPHVIZ_INSTALL_DIR   (e.g., C:\Graphviz-2.21) <-------------------------- I stated C:\Graphviz-2.21 (I also tried C:\/Graphviz-2.21)
     GRAPHVIZ_INSTALL_MAJOR (e.g., 2)                <-------------------------- I stated 2    
     GRAPHVIZ_INSTALL_MINOR (e.g., 20)               <-------------------------- I stated 21   
     Notice the way "\/" are used for the paths above.
   (b) add to user variable 'path': $GRAPHVIZ_INSTALL_DIR/bin
     e.g., C:\Graphviz-2.21\bin                      <-------------------------- I stated C:\Graphviz-2.21\bin (I also tried C:\/Graphviz-2.21\/bin)
