Yes, in the bin/windows64 part of the repository.  (Assuming this is 
for R 2.11.1, but you have not even told us that.)

This is not an R-sig-DB question, and you need to study the posting 
guide, provide the 'at a minimum' information asked for there, and 
tell us exactly how you are 'trying to install'.

Note too that you have ignored the advice in the rw-FAQ for people 
'new to R', and that almost certainly you are going to have trouble 
with finding 64-bit ODBC drivers -- but you have not even told us what 
DBMS you want to connect to.
