From the 'R on Windows FAQ', 'Section 2.2 How do I install R for Windows?': If you want to be able to build packages from sources, we recommend that you choose an installation path not containing spaces. When I worked on Windows I generally followed that advise. I may sound like a lot of work to re-install R just to write one function. Maybe you can work on https://rstudio.cloud instead.
