Unless your OS if Win2000 (and you didn't say), you should get a popup 
that tells you more.

But to use RGtk2, you need to install the Win32 RGtk2 runtime *and have it 
in your path*.  See http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/.  Most likely you 
haven't done that successfully.

And the posting guide asked you to update your R *before* posting, so 
please do so now.
