未找到 rDotNet CLRServer.exe

Question

I am trying to access a C# dll within R using rDotNet. Note that I am not at all well versed in C# and Visual studio.

In R, when I try to run the .cinit() function for the first time, I get:

NOTE: starting CLR server
Warning message:
In system2(exe, args, wait = FALSE, stderr = FALSE, stdout = FALSE) :
  '"C:/Users/User/Dropbox/My PC (DESKTOP-T9I5J)/Documents/R/win- 
library/3.6/rDotNet/server/bin/Debug/CLRServer.exe"' not found

Subsequent attempts to use any functions such as .cnew results in:

Error in internal_cnew(classname, argv) : 
problem communicating with CLR, could not complete message

I have done multiple searches for CLRServer.exe , both on my computer and on the internet. There is almost no reference to it anywhere! The only place where the existence of this file is mentioned is within the rDotNet documentation, and I otherwise have absolutely no idea where to obtain this .exe.

I have rDotNet installed both through R and as a package in Visual Studio. I tracked down the nuget and msbuild files and added them to my path. All I need to do is locate this CLRServer.exe.

The source code is here in this repo and if you don't know how to build a dotnet project then the binary can be downloaded from here:
