Sorry, there is nothing to reproduce here.
The pertinent error message is not the one you quote in your subject line
but
Error in file.exists(name) : unsupported conversion in 'filenameToWchar'
At face value that means that iconv does not know about your locale.
That's possible, but it does know about 'English'. If you can start R at
all, what does Sys.getlocale() give?
See what happens if you add LC_ALL=en to the target on the shortcut you
use to start R. That should force use of American English (it does for
me).
It's a long shot, but if that fails can you please try R-patched, binaries
available from
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rpatched.htmlIf the real error is something earlier, this might have solved it.
