Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I had this problem in R for Windows 3.4

1. Go to the CRAN webpage and download and install the R 3.4.0 Patched Build for Windows
2. Run Rstudio as administrator.
3. Install the package as usual.

Answer 2

It's a bit weird, but it worked for me.

Just closing the installed packages win-library folder while installing package resolved the mentioned error.

Answer 3

I tried changing my repository, and .libPaths variable, those didn't work. Simply rebooting my windows machine did the trick for me.

Answer 4

我在R3.4版本中遇到了同样的问题，它是通过使用来解决的

install.packages("tidyverse",dependencies = TRUE,repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")

Answer 5

I had the same problem where my rsession.exe was essentially being blocked by my Advanced System Care software from accessing this file index.html . When I clicked on index.html , I wasn't sent to any particular file just the base [This PC] folder home page on Windows 10. The error you had was present for me throughout 3.4.3, 3.4.3patched, and 3.2, so it was probably a problem I was dealing with that transcended the versions themselves.

I don't know why exactly the access was really needed, but allowing it got rid of the problem for me.

Answer 6

Like @m.nette-van-zyl, this issue disappear when I disabled Avast (don't know why, though).

Answer 7

在安装软件包时禁用我的 Avast 防病毒软件 10 分钟解决了我的问题。
