a) It works for me.
b) If it works for you on some Windows versions but not on others, why 
do you think it is a bug in R?

configuration of Windows (permissions, quota, ...) or in the 
configuration of R (do you have set another library path to install to)?

Please tell us the way you tried to install the package.
