It could be time to install a newer version of R. CRAN doesn't provide
binary builds of packages for R 3.5...

...so the latest version of rlang you can currently install is 0.4.5,
but lifecycle wants rlang (≥ 0.4.10). You can either follow the link
https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/Rtools/ and install Rtools to
compile rlang 0.4.12 from source, or install a later version of R (≥
4.0) that CRAN provides Windows binaries for.

You could also try the XLConnect package (it works fine for me on
older installations of R), but it depends on Java.
