Error: package or namespace load failed or 'usethis':

[uzton]

I have a problem opening a graph from an external software. I worked in my old laptop, but not this new one.
It would normally display the graph, but what I received by far is an error message (see below).

I tried to install 'usethis', 'rlang', and 'tidyverse'. The installation seemed to be successful, but when I called using library, there were error message saying the package load failed. I even tried to uninstall and reinstall R software. I have R for Windows 4.0.3 on my institute software catalogue.

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘usethis’:
.onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rlang', details:
call: NULL
error: The rlang package is not properly installed.
The DLL version does not correspond to the package version.
Please update rlang to the latest version.
Updating packages on Windows requires precautions:

The DLL version does not correspond to the package version.
Please update rlang to the latest version.

Have you tried removing and reinstalling rlang?

Hi Andresrcs,

Thank you for your reply.

I couldn't remove nor reinstalling rlang. When I library(rlang) it is not in my R.

Anyway, I googled for more in the Rstudio Community and tried to install rtools. It works like a magic because I can now install usethis and rlang. I can get the graphs I wanted too. It works seamlessly.
