R 2.9 and XML

After I installed R 2.9.0 my XML package cannot load; I get an error
"This
application has failed to start because iconv.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem". I already
re-installed
both but the problem persists. Does anyone know what is going on? I would
appreciate any help. Thanks a lot
I had this problem (after installing XML through install.packages() ) and
worked around it by making a copy of Riconv.dll (in the R-2.9.0/biin
directory) and naming it iconv.dll. The XML package seems to be working
now, but I'd like to know if there's a better way.

Please re-install XML. A recompiled binary version is available from 
CRANextras that does work with R-2.9.0.
