Rserve is a TCP/IP server which allows other programs to use facilities of R (see www.r-project.org) from various languages without the need to initialize R or link against R library.

You can download Rserve from http://rosuda.org/Rserve/ 
Otherwise start R and type 
>install.packages("Rserve", type="source")  and select  any CRAN mirror .

Go to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.2\library\Rserve\libs\x64\Rserve.exe  path and copy Rserve.exe file to
                C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.2\bin

        If it runs successfully then it ok otherwise it will ask for R.dll file which is inside
the C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.2\bin\x64 directory  to     
                                    C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.2\bin
 and run again Rserve.exe, if it again ask any file just copy that file from 
                     C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.2\bin\x64      to   
                           C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.2\bin
