What's the traceback() output immediately after this error happens? If
you post it, someone may be able to point out the offending code and
perhaps find a way to convince it to use the drive letter instead of
the UNC path.
Since the error is encountered by code in 'usethis' (or somewhere
downstream), likely not in base R, you may also get a more direct
answer by following links at <https://usethis.r-lib.org/SUPPORT.html>.
A common cause of such problems is path normalization. Base R tries not
to introduce UNC paths, e.g. path normalization of a path including a
drive letter tries not to turn that path into UNC, exactly for this
reason: there are tools around, not just R, that do not fully support
UNC paths.
