You may find joy with Wine. Run:

sudo apt-get install wine

Then mark the file as executable using nautilus or in terminal use:

chmod +x R-2.6.0-win.exe

Then right click it and run it with wine.

It may work, it may not work. I cannot find it in the appdb so I cannot comment on whether or not it will work or not, some apps work well, some refuse to even install. You may need to install Windows insisde virtualbox/vmware and run the app there if the application is vital. This will need a fairly decent system as you will be running both OSes at the same time. If the app is the MAIN reason the system exists then you may simply want to just run Windows (or you could dual boot)

Sorry it actually doesn't work.
This program is vital in my class but I really want to use UBUNTU 11.04.
Since R- commander is in UBUNTU software center so it must be installed in UBUNTU .
But there is a problem installing through UBUNTU software center (I mentioned it previously and you told that it is a bug).
Thanks for trying to help me.

Then there is a bug with the packages as deps should be satisfyable in the repos. Can you please log a bug

Can you help with this problem?
