You need to review Appendix F of the R Installation and Administration
manual, and be sure you have installed the Windows toolset, and modified
your PATH setting. The explanations look long, but are complete and do
work. The "sh" that Windows is looking for, is among the tools you should 
have installed and put in your PATH, so it looks as though this is your 
difficulty.
