I believe that's a warning rather than an error, but what it indicates 
is that your hhc help compiler is not on the current PATH.  If you just 
type "hhc" at the same command line where you were running "R CMD 
INSTALL", you should see

Usage:   hhc <filename>
     where <filename> = an HTML Help project file
Example: hhc myfile.hhp
	
but I'm guessing you'll see

hhc: not found

To fix this, edit the PATH, and make sure the directory holding hhc.exe 
is on it.
