windows - package doMC NOT available for R version 3.0.0 warning in install.packages

Question

For some packages like doMC & doSMP, i get the warning & inability to library(doMC). As shown below, i have no problem with subselect thus no file/directory permission issue. Also tried repo=http://cran.us.r-project.org & others, no luck. please advise.

ps: for the unexpected Japanese characters, i have no clue; i assume that is a separable issue; no response yet from support.rstudio.org/help/discussions/problems/6009-japanese-characters-show-unexpectedly

If you want to install it for windows, here it how you can:

install.packages("doMC", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")

I did it for R 3.2.3 version and it works well.

As Erdogan mentioned, it works for R 4.x.x versions as well.
