  At least part of the problem is in the detection/location of the
binary file . You can *try* downloading 
http://glmmadmb.r-forge.r-project.org/repos/bin/
  windows/contrib/3.0/glmmADMB_0.7.7.zip
[URL broken to make gmane happy, reassemble yourself]

  and see if it works.  But I have to agree with Roman that staying
on an old version of R is going to make things harder all around;
people are less likely to be willing to jump through hoops to help
you work with an old version (for example, I don't know if there
are Windows toolchain incompatibilities with old versions of R...)
