Seems Soren is looking for a Windows binary, which indeed is not there (see http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rgraphviz/index.html), with explanation: Package Rgraphviz is also hosted on BioC and does not pass the checks on CRAN. Please see its BioC version. To simplify matters, should we stop dual hosting?

These days a Windows user needs to install Graphviz independently before they can use Rgraphviz. This is not how it used to be, but it means that these days a user has to take additional non-R steps to get Rgraphviz to work.

We've heard this before, but then Robert and I keep wondering: why does having something on CRAN make things easier? It does not really matter which repository a package comes from afaic ...
