I am just in the middle of a conversation on the tex list but
just in case you are about to post anything to your web site
here is a slight simplification. It consists of updating the
MiKTeX file database using initexmf instead of the GUI so you
don't have to move back and forth during the instructions.
The discussion there might correct or improve this further.
Regards.

1. Create a new tex subfolder of your \localtexmf folder:
md \localtexmf\tex
2. Copy your R .sty and .fd files into it, update the
MiKTeX texmf file name database and check that Rd.sty
is found in the correct place, viz. \localtexmf\tex:
cd \Program Files\R\rw2001\share\texmf
copy *.* \localtexmf\tex
initexmf -u
findtexmf Rd.sty
#2 should be repeated each time one installs a new version
of R or any time the *.sty or *.fd files are changed.
(Actually nothing needs to be done if the .sty and .fd files
have not changed from one version of R to another and the
initexmf command does not need to be run unless the filenames
themselves have changed even if their contents have; however,
none of these steps will hurt and its safest to do them all.)
