You might want to review this from the ESS Manual:

http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/ess.html#Microsoft-Windows-installation

Also, there is a dedicated ESS mailing list. More info here:

https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/ess-help

Finally, note that the current version of R is 2.5.1. You should get
the latest version from your local CRAN mirror.
