I'm not a Windows user, but the first indication of a problem was when the 
installation procedure tried to replace an older version of mice with a newer 
version and failed. I only chimed in from my place on the sidelines of an 
R-Windows game because no one else had responded.

I tried finding the finalfit package on CRAN but it doesn't seem to have yet 
been submitted in a version that can be installed on a Mac. So I followed the 
advice on the blog you linked to and I can now see the package DESCRIPTION 
file. It has these dependencies:

Imports: Hmisc, ggplot2, grid, gridExtra, lme4, magrittr, mice, pROC,
        plyr, scales, stats, stringr, survival, survminer
RoxygenNote: 6.0.1
Suggests: knitr, rmarkdown, rstan, boot


> Where or what is the windows error?

It appears you have an older version of mice but I cannot tell why it is 
unacceptable to this version of 'finalfit' since there is no version 
requirement in the deescription 'Imports:' line.

You might try to update your 'mice'-package. The current version on CRAN is 
3.0.0, and attempting to make that available might illuminate the problem.

Fixing permissions on windows is not actually on-topic for Rhelp. Perhaps you 
could ask on the SuperUser forum where advice about Windows system maintenance 
is on-topic: https://superuser.com/


Best of luck.

David.
