  Yes I did. Before installing the Rgraphviz package successfully, 
(1) I downloaded graphviz-2.26.3.msi for MS Windows (XP) and 
installed it successfully and (2) I also installed the packages 
from Bioconductor by: (Note: I use MS Windows XP and R 2.10.1 
version)

source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite()

  I got those error messages:

"Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) :
  unable to load shared library
 'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-210~1.1/library/Rgraphviz/libs/Rgraphviz.dll':
   LoadLibrary failure:  The specified module could not be 
found."

  Obviously, it seems it is the package problem because it should 
go to 
'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-2.10.1/library/Rgraphviz/libs/Rgraphviz.dll' 
instead of
'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-210~1.1/library/Rgraphviz/libs/Rgraphviz.dll'

  Thank you for the reply. Howard
