Does Sys.getenv("R_LIBS") show the path? My guess is that it has to do with this little part from ?.libPaths "Only directories which exist at the time will be included." Try entering the path you specified into R; when I do, I get an error that says Error: '\P' is an unrecognized escape in character string starting suggesting that it is your use of backslashes in the path name leading to R not recognizing the directory and .libPaths() ignoring it.
I would try: R_LIBS="C:/Program Files (x86)/R/library" I also find setting environment variables in Windows to certain directories makes my life much easier.
