Are you sure you used R-1.7.0 for Windows? Installing package bundles
like VR failed in that version, AFAIK. So the first recommendation is:
Update to R-1.7.1.

Maybe an error has occured during the download?
Does the error occur again when you try
install.packages("survival")
?
My guess: It's not survival but VR which fails. Attention: The
installation starts after download of *all* packages has finished.
