When I install XAMPP Lite version 1.5.3a + Mediawiki 1.5.3. and the R 
extension v0.04 I get a page with the entry

ERROR: <convert...> command not found in

If it is that what you get then obviously the R extension did not find 
the convert command from the ImageMagick package. If you have installed 
ImageMagick somewhere in your system then simply change in the routine 
getCmd in extbase.php the line

$path = array('C:\path-to-the-convert-cmd\');

For the other necessary commands you have to add the other pathes in 
extbase.php too.
It might be a severe problem that the extension is written for Unix (I 
gave up to get it working under Windows).
