A brute force uninstall is fairly easy:  just delete the directory it 
was installed in.  It will leave some registry entries behind, but those 
should be harmless.

If you can give more details on where you downloaded it from and what 
options you chose when you installed it, it would be appreciated.  I 
just tried an install and uninstall of the CRAN 2.13.1 version on 32 bit 
XP and had no errors.
