The important error message is the one that says R was unable to load
internet.dll.  Possible reasons for this are:

 - it is not there, or has been damaged.  A re-install of R might fix this.

 - something on your system is interfering with it, e.g. a virus checker
may have marked it as dangerous.  I haven't heard this from anyone else,
so it may be a false positive from your virus checker, or it may be that
the location you downloaded from has a damaged copy.
