I found the Rgui.exe under directory R\R-2.12.0\bin\i386.
Please read the CHANGES file: this is the first item for 2.12.0.
I don't believe it is related to Bill's problem. The latter looks
like a package installed for R < 2.12.0 (also covered in the first
item of CHANGES), but without the exact message we cannot be sure.
(For the record, Mac OS X has 'fat' binaries, but R does not use them
for compiled code in packages - it used subdirectories just as on
Windows.)
Thanks,

I am having a problem with the installed R 2.12.0 on 32-bit Windows XP machine
using the binary version.
The installer I am using is R-2.12.0-win.exe . The problem I have
is that some of my installed packages will not load, in particular
PolynomF, which has a pre-compiled .dll. Other packages such as
SOAR, which is pure R, attach and work without a hitch.
The error message I am getting when trying to load PolynomF is a
question whether or not the package has been compiled for the
present architecture. (This package works without a hitch on
R-2.11.1, for example.)
Is there any significance in the name of the installer now
including just "win" rather than "win32", as it was in the last
release?
Is it the case that all packages will have to be re-built for the
present release?
Generally packages do need to be rebuilt for new versions of R (other
than patch releases, where only the last digit changes). R 2.12.0
supports both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows in the same installation, and
since Windows doesn't have MacOS-like "universal" binaries, that means
binaries need to be put in the right place. Generally that's an i386
subdirectory for 32 bit, and an x64 directory for 64 bit.
I don't know why a 32 bit DLL wouldn't work with 32 bit R 2.12.0, but if
it was installed for 2.11.1, it might not be in the right place.
