Unable to install Rdpack

Hi, I want to install PLM package in RStudio. But this package is dependent on Rdpack, which I am not able install at all. I could not find any solution online as well. Please note that I tried re-installing RStudio, R, and all the available packages. Still, I am not able to install Rdpack. As Rdpack is creaing issues, I am not able to install 'plm' package due to dependency. Can somone help?

Hello all, I solved the issue. This issue will happen if RStudio is not installed in default location (i.e., C drive), which is a BIG bug in RStudio. Hope they will resolve the issue.
I had to uninstall, RStudio, R, and R-tools, and then, re-install everything on the default C location.
