although i am not using R for windows, but there are binaries for
windows available for multiv at:
http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/multiv.zip

you may want to read the documentation about how to install pakages from 
http://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/doc/manuals/R-admin.pdf (chapter 5).

depending on where you are physically, you may want to select another
cran mirror for a list of mirrors see:

hth, peter
