I downloaded the latest Windows version 1.8.1 from http://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/ (21/11/03 R-1.8.1.tar then to-day the file is R-1.8.1.tgz) and from Windows unzipped the file. The directory R-1.8.1 is created (rather than rw1081) but no subdirectory 'bin'. I cannot see any .dll nor .exe files in the directory and I understand from Brian Ripley's page of 'R for Windows FAQ' there should be a 'bin' subdirectory.
You've downloaded the source, not a binary build. The file you want to download is rw1081.exe, from the /bin/windows/base directory on CRAN mirrors. Duncan Murdoch
