Not exactly. If you wish to keep ***inadvertant*** changes from being made, you could put bundle everything in an R package, protect the core computations in functions that are protected in the package namespace so the user can only see wrapper functions, and provide a Windows binary. See Writing R Extensions for info on namespaces. Your users will still have to have R. A devoted hacker will hardly be slowed down by this, but curious noobies will be protected from themselves.
