R help - Dec 2011 - Problem installing Rtools

I'm a new user to R and recently installed R 2.14  for Windows 7 (64 bit). 
I
have downloaded and ran Rtools 2.14 but do not see any new packages in the
install packages section of R.  I installed Rtools in a subdirectory to the
/library/ directory.  Does anyone have any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks!

Rtools doesn't contain R packages, it contains various compilers and 
tools that you could use to build R and R packages.  So you should 
install it in its own directory.  I usually use c:/Rtools.
