I have a new laptop that was working with R and R studio and then after updating packages I have run into continual issues loading or installing R packages in R studio.
- I have tried to uninstall R and R studio deleted all folders associated and then re-installed.
- removing and re-installing rlang however it keeps coming up as not properly installed.
- Checked my .libPath ()
My question is how do you make sure you have closed everything so you do not have any .dll file open and then therefore so that the installer can overwrite .dll? will this solve my issue?
Restarting R session...
