Thanks Eric - I had tried this and failed with
install.packages('callr',destdir='c:/myRLib')
Installing package into ‘C:/myRLib’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
There is a binary version available but the source version is
later:
binary source needs_compilation
callr 3.3.2 3.4.0 FALSE
installing the source package ‘callr’
trying URL 'https://cloud.r-project.org/src/contrib/callr_3.4.0.tar.gz'

** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
Fatal error: cannot open file 'C:\Users\David': No such file or directory
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'callr'
* removing 'C:/myRLib/callr'
Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘callr’ had non-zero exit status
I also tried
install.packages('callr',lib='c:/myRLib',destdir='c:/myRLib')
with the same result. There's something more here that I'm unable to discover.

Looking at the documentation ?install.packages
it seems that if you modify your call to something like
install.packages('callr',destdir='C:\tmp')
you might be ok. (caveat: I did not try this)
You should make the directory C:\tmp (or whatever you use instead)
before you issue this call.
HTH,

The downloaded source packages are in
‘C:\Users\David
Stevens\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmpk5NqrI\downloaded_packages’
both using RStudio 1.2.5019 and the Rgui.exe 3.6.2. I look in the download
folder and the callr_3.4.0.tar.gz is there but the installer can't find it.
This happens on only a subset of packages I install or update. I assume the
cause is the space in my name in the c:\users folder. I've been unable to
locate the environment variable or registry value that routes the tar.gz files
to this location. Any ideas on how to fix this? This is a relatively recent
issue (i.e. I never saw it before November - I've used R for ~15 years).
