You did something very wrong.  You assumed you knew what to do instead
of reading the manual:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html

The fourth paragraph of the first section of the manual above has a link to:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Add_002don-packages

And make sure to read:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Installing-R-under-Windows

Note that this has nothing to do with finance, and is therefore
off-topic for this list.
