Error in install.packages : package ‘RGtk2’ not installed because it is not built for UCRT

Question

I tried to install rattle and RGtk2. I used

install.packages("https://cran.microsoft.com/snapshot/2021-12-15/bin/windows/contrib/4.1/RGtk2_2.20.36.2.zip", repos=NULL) to install RGtk2.

Then I received an error message saying

Error in install.packages : package ‘RGtk2’ not installed because it is not built for UCRT

I wonder how can I solve this problem? Thanks~

My solution is going back with R-4.1.0

Steps:

Install R-4.1.0: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/old/4.1.0/
Install Rstudio 2022.02.2-485: https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download
Install RGtk2: https://rattle.togaware.com/

Graham has been testing and rewriting some of the instructions. https://rattle.togaware.com/ has a new instructions to install and run on a previous R version. There is also a Rattle 5.5.2 out a day ago, with some fixes.
