Thanks for asking. The path where R tries to load the dll from does not exist I think (or the install process deletes it after the error - might this be the case?): C:/Users/wewol/OneDrive/Documents/R/win-library/3.5/grpc/libs/x64/grpc.dll'
When I am checking after the error that path is only valid up to: C:/Users/wewol/OneDrive/Documents/R/win-library/3.5/ So maybe (?) the install process wrongly assums that the package is installed (but it never was) and than it executes ** testing if installed package can be loaded To run into the error. Error: package or namespace load failed for 'grpc' in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...): unable to load shared object 'C:/Users/wewol/OneDrive/Documents/R/win-library/3.5/grpc/libs/x64/grpc.dll': LoadLibrary failure: The specified module could not be found.
