To the best of my understanding, in life nothing works just because one tries to do it multiple times — conditions must change for success to come from failure. Because computers especially do not change their settings based on multiple previous failed attempts to install a software, you must have changed something for the installation to work.
We cannot say anything about this instance, but anybody with the same problem is well advised to provide a full information of what is going on, so we can help. Also, a methodical approach in testing different things (different CRAN mirror download, different security settings, whatever) would help. BW F > On 28.
