I had the same problem and had to run an earlier version of R to get AmeliaView to load.

Subject: [amelia] Installing Amelia II on Windows XP Pro
Hi Matt,
I am getting the same problem as John did. I ran the lines of code you specified below and got an error with AmeliaView():
Error in structure(.External("dotTclObjv", objv, PACKAGE = "tcltk"), class = "tclObj") :
[tcl] couldn't open "C:/Program Files/R/R-2.14.2/library/Amelia/doc/gallery19.gif": no such file or directory.
I checked the filepath and the folder "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.2\library\Amelia\doc" exists but the file isn't there.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi John,
Can you open R and run the following lines of code:
library(Amelia)
AmeliaView()
This should (a) display what version of Amelia you are using and (b) bring up the AmeliaView window. If you could let us know what version of Amelia you are using that would be helpful. Note that you *could* use this method to open AmeliaView all the time while we try to sort out the problem.
Cheers,
matt.
