"tryed to use", "didn't work"  ... you did not provide console output  
so the source of that failre cannot be identified.

"this package" (specifically meaning only fPortfolioSolver_271.75)  IS  
on r-forge:

http://r-forge.r-project.org/src/contrib/fPortfolioSolver_271.75.tar.gz

You might need to install the dependencies one by one (at least some  
of which are on CRAN while others are on r-forge) and when that task  
is completed,  go to the r-forge repo to finish the job.  (All of  
which assumes you have RTools properly installed.)
