I'm receiving some interesting errors while attempting to install any packages this is the following error. I am using a windows 10 PC. I tried looking up fixes and they all failed.

 Error in install.packages : cannot open file 'C:/Users/Me/Documents/R/win-library/3.4/3.4/file3841faf57af/colorspace/CITATION': Permission denied'

Have you tried the changing the sys.sleep from 0.5 to 3 solution? Sometimes the virus scanner needs more time before the downloaded package zip files are checked and given free. Warning in install.packages: unable to move temporary installation

Why don't you try the administrator cmd?
