It looks like it does not have permissions to read from this directory: C:/Users/bianc/OneDrive/Documenten/R/win-library/3.5/

Can you access it through Windows Explorer?

[Bianca]

Hi,
Yes, i can access it. All my other packages are installed in that folder, only this particular package gives problems

The fact that it's one OneDrive is suspicious -- you might be running into an issue wherein RStudio and Windows are competing for file access, and if Windows has locked the file when R attempts to use it, that file access attempt can fail.

Do you have any better luck if you use a local, non-OneDrive library path?

[Bianca]

It did!
Thank you very much!! Wasted hours on this problem haha
