Oracle R Enterprise installation ERROR: cannot copy dll file

Question

This is bit strange, I posted this message in 2 forums but surprisingly can't find it anymore!! Anyways, I would appreciate if anyone can help me a bit on this issue:
I am having trouble installing ORE 1.3 on my windows 7 (home premium, personal notebook) 64 bit. I strictly followed the installation note and made sure all the path variables are defined properly. My R version is 2.15.1. My Windows user is a member of ora_dba group as can be seen below.

The command completed successfully.Now when I try to install.bat (bare with me as I try to include the whole path as I believe there may be the problem. Note that my oracle and R installation is in H:\ drive, not in C:\. Can that be an issue about some windows permission? I off-course tried many ways, gave the user full permission, but no luck.)

Any help please?
Thanks,

Hi all,
I have finally solved the problem, it seems somehow on my windows home premium I can't run the install script (on H:\ ) from the command line. I manually ran the batch script by double clicking on it, it ran fine and I was finally able to install ORE (server + supported + client) on my laptop. Now the connection -- followed through the manual, created user and granted all the roles. Now that I want to test the connection, I open R console and below are the input and output error message though it seems I can connect to the database:
