Why do you think this is a bug in R?  Try the FAQ (address at the bottom
of this message) for information on getting R.

Either get a pre-built binary for Windows (from where you got R-1.4.0.tgz)
or get the tools you need to unpack this (it is not a zip archive) from
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/.

Given your apparent level of knowledge, I strongly recommend the first.

To help us avoid repeats of this, could you please explain where you got
the idea that R-1.4.0.tgz was the thing to download?
