Dear Guido,

Since Bioconductor has compiled the Windows version of xps using root 
5.22.00 you need to install the binary of this version, as mentioned in 
"System Requirements". You can download this version from: 
http://root.cern.ch/root/Version522.html
I would suggest to install version: root_v5.22.00.win32.vc90.msi

Please see also my introductory comments for Windows users:
https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioconductor/2008-December/025452.html 


Please let me know if this solved your problem.

Best regards
Christian

P.S.: Although the BioC mailing list is currently down I assume that it 
will contain your question, thus I cc to the list.
