[R] Installation of SrcStatConnectorSrv on Windows

[Prof Brian Ripley]

That is not an R package.

It looks like the sources of the server described on 

http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/dcom/RSrv200.html

which tells you about the approriate mailing list to ask about it.
You probably want to use RSrv200.exe to install the server (and other 
tools and examples).
