[R] Installation of SrcStatConnectorSrv on Windows
That is not an R package. It looks like the sources of the server described on http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/dcom/RSrv200.html which tells you about the approriate mailing list to ask about it. You probably want to use RSrv200.exe to install the server (and other tools and examples).
