[R] Unable to load packages RODBC and RODBCext in R

[Paul Bernal]

Dear all,

Hope you are doing great. I am currently using R version 3.4.1 ("Single
Candle") and was trying to install packages RODBC and RODBCext using the
following steps:

> install.packages("RODBCext")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/PaulBernal/Documents/R/win-library/3.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
also installing the dependency ‘RODBC’

package ‘RODBC’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

‘C:\Users\PaulBernal\Documents\R\win-library\3.4\RODBC’ # I dont understand
this Warning message I mean why was it unable to move a previous
installation?
package ‘RODBCext’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Warning: unable to move temporary installation

to ‘C:\Users\PaulBernal\Documents\R\win-library\3.4\RODBCext’

The downloaded binary packages are in

C:\Users\PaulBernal\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmpk7SkD5\downloaded_packages

> library("RODBC")
Error in library("RODBC") : there is no package called ‘RODBC’

> library("RODBCext")
Error in library("RODBCext") : there is no package called ‘RODBCext’

If packages RODBC and RODBCext were successfully installed, why am I not
able to load those packages?

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Paul
