There shouldn't be any problem with current gretl on Windows 7. 
We're going to release gretl 1.9.9 shortly; if you want to reinstall 
before then I would recommend using the current "snapshot" rather 
than gretl 1.9.8. (The snapshot is sometimes unstable, but right now 
it includes several bug fixes and -- to my knowledge -- nothing 
that's likely to cause problems.)

R should be fine; no idea about the others.
