This is the important message. It says Rsymphony can't be installed on your
system, because you're missing something it needs. You might get more
information if you run this on the command line, but basically you need to
read the system requirements for the package and follow them. The one I see
when I look at it on CRAN is:
SYMPHONY for Windows (sources included for other OSes)
If you don't have that, then you won't be able to install this package on
Windows.
And for 32-bit Windows, no one has succeeded in building SYMPHONY with
the current toolchain. We did succeed with an earlier toolchain, but
as SYMPHONY is a C++ API, that is incompatible.
It is possible to build Rsymphony on 64-bit Windows, using the binary
build of SYMPHONY at
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/goodies/Win64No_/
(which needed source modifications).

Then about the CMD window I also tried to use it but I cannot get it to
recognize the command for me. It always tells me "R" it is an
unrecognized command. I am new to all this about tar.gz files and
running commands directly in the CMD windowf, so could you please be
more specific with me. Thank you

Do you know what might be going on or where I can find a manual
of how to
use Rtools? Thank you
The likely problem is that you didn't give the full path to the
tar.gz file. If it is not in the working directory, that
install.packages command will fail.
An easy way to get the path is to use
filename <- file.choose()
which brings up a Windows dialog; go search for the file, and its
name will be saved in the filename variable. Then use
install.packages(filename, type="source", repos=NULL).
