This warning

Warning: unable to access index for repository http://bioconductor.org/packages/3.0/bioc/bin/windows/contrib/3.4:

says that R is trying to access the repository for Bioconductor 3.0, R version 3.4. But Bioconductor version 3.0 was released on R version 3.1 (see the release announcements for mapping between R and Bioconductor versions; parsing the URL above is not meant to be an end-user skill!). It's also different from in your original message, where you were trying to access the Bioconductor 3.5 repository (which is valid for R 3.4), so you've done something (e.g., changed the .libPaths() seen by R) to point to an old installation of R packages, and in particular an old version of the BiocInstaller package.

I'm not sure how best to suggest proceeding. One option is to remove all installations of R and of R packages (e.g., under C:\Users\Marion\.RLibrary) and to start again using

source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite(c("affy", "hgu133plus2cdf"))

Work on the first error

Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) : 
 there is no package called 'Rcpp'

Confirming that there is no Rcpp installed on your system

library(Rcpp)               ## fails?

and then installing it before trying to install the annotation package

biocLite("Rcpp")            ## succeeds?
biocLite("hgu133plus2cdf")  ## succeeds?

Thank you for your help Martin, unfortunately I am now getting a different set of errors (see below), I have found that as I correct some errors a different set keep emerging. I'll keep going ...
