According to

  http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/EBImage.html

the EBImage package is available for download as this:

Package Downloads:
Package source  EBImage_3.6.0.tar.gz
Windows 32-bit binary   EBImage_3.6.0.zip
Windows 64-bit binary   EBImage_3.6.0.zip
MacOS X 10.5 (Leopard) binary   Not Available

However, if you download the EBImage_3.6.0.zip file for Windows 64-bit
binary, it is for i386 (and not 'arch=x64').  Should that URL be
removed?

This has been on my list to get to for some time--I will take care of it
today.
By the way, how did you get to that page?

Using a by now rather well known search engine and searching for
"Bioconductor release EBImage".  "Bioconductor EBImage" leads you to
the developers page.

There is a new package page:
http://www.bioconductor.org/help/bioc-views/release/bioc/html/EBImage.html
This page has the same issue--except there is only one Windows binary
available, incorrectly labelled as for both 32 and 64-bit.

BTW, has anyone (including non-Bioc admins) tried/succeeded to build
the 64-bit Windows version?

Note that biocLite("EBImage") correctly reports the package as not
being available.
