Hi Yixuan,

Unfortunately the problem seems to not be related to RStudio. It also appears in RGui. The error message is also different.

Cheers,
Henrik

But it also appears when using a binary version of MPTinR from winbuilder (temporarily available here: http://win-builder.r-project.__org/h18PJ7B55VAq <http://win-builder.r-project.org/h18PJ7B55VAq>), R-devel and corresponding binary from CRAN, and I could replicate the error on a range of different Windows machines. The error also always disappears when installing from source. I am also extremely confident that this problem didn't exist in the past, I and others have used this functionality regularly with the CRAN windows binary.
