[R] R 3.4.0 on Windows 7 Home Premium installed apparently fine, but packages failing to load ...

Hello!

I welcome the new *R* 3.4.0.  I installed it on my Windows 7 Home
Premium [Service Pack 1, updated to latest, running on an HP AMD(Phenom)
II 955 X4 Processor, 3.20 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 64-bit, with lots of free
storage on disk and a solid state disk for virtual cache]. It was
installed atop the previous *R* version.
I tried the usual *update.packages(ask=FALSE)* and found many instances
of packages, e.g., *ctmm*, *SweaveListingUtils*, *plotly*,
*scatterplot3d*, *startupmsg *which failed to install, apparently
because of an attempt to include an install of i386 instead of only x64.
I was using the Berkeley mirror via *https:*> 
> R version 3.4.0 (2017-04-21) -- "You Stupid Darkness" 
> Copyright (C) 2017 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
> Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)

I opted *not* to install from source those packages requiring
compilation, although Rtools was installed and when installing a package
before, FORTRAN compilations succeed. I also have an MSVC++ installed,
but I've not gotten that to work on Windows, unlike when I install on
Ubuntu machines.
Unfortunately, install at least for these packages fails:

The important package *boot* was failing before as well, but I tried
again using Vanderbilt as the mirror, and that seemed to work fine.
Sorry for the length of the post, but I wanted to include all the
important information, and did not know where or how to write a
bug report about all this.  After all, this does not look,
strictly speaking, like an *R* or a package problem, but a
delivery system problem.
Thanks for all your great work!
