Haven't tried yet (I do not have Windows). As it stands, no. 
Nevertheless, here's the current state of the whole stuff:

-1- You would need to have dynamic libraries for R. On Debian, it's 
there by default, but on Windows, I do not know.

-2- You would have to adjust the build system of OCaml-R on Windows. 
There's probably no real issue there, except taking time for it.

-3- Should stick with 0.1 of OCaml-R. 0.2 uses some trickery and Unix 
system calls to set environment variables to avoid launching everything 
with R CMD. Help on making it work on Windows would be appreciated.

Aside from these issues, I do not believe there is any real problem with 
using it on Windows. I'd nevertheless recommend using GODI & Cygwin & MinGW.

But all this talk would perhaps be better off on the ocaml-r-devel 
mailing list.
