Possibilities:

  1. Corruption of one of more .dll files
  2. Attempting to mix 32-bit and 64-bit shared libraries.
  3. One or more dependencies were simply missing.

Download dependency walker, and use it to check that xml2.dll (and all its dependencies) exist and can be loaded. Similarly for Rcpp.dll. Be sure to use the correct version of dependency walker (32-bit vs 64-bit).
