[R] Build command in library(devtools)

[Steven Yen]

I recently updated my R and RStudio to the latest version and now the 
binary option in the "build" command in devtools stops working.

I went around and used the binary=F option which worked by I get the 
.tar.gz file instead of the .zip file which I prefer.

Does anyone understand the following error message:

status 127
running 'zip' failed

===
setwd("A:/R/yenlib/"); library(devtools)
#build("yenlib",binary=T) # Thisfailed with an error message
build("yenlib",binary=F) # This works

 > build("yenlib",binary=T)
