Hello,
I don't think you need to use a system command directly, I think 'utils::untar' is all you need. I tried the same thing myself, something like: URL <- "https://exiftool.org/Image-ExifTool-12.30.tar.gz"; FILE <- file.path(tempdir(), basename(URL)) utils::download.file(URL, FILE) utils::untar(FILE, exdir = dirname(FILE)) and it makes a folder "Image-ExifTool-12.30". It seems to work perfectly fine in Windows 10 x64 build 19042. Can you send the specific file (or provide a URL to the specific file) that isn't working for you?
