When I try to install the GGIR package on my working computer (by install.packages ("GGIR", dependencies= TRUE) the following error appears:

Error in install.packages : cannot open file '\\filer300/USERS3001/E1018060/Documents/R/win-library/4.0/file40ec34441d3a/hexView/files/rawTest.bin': Invalid argument

If I use the command with , install.packages("GGIR", dependencies =FALSE), another file appears to have the same issue:

Error in install.packages : cannot open file '\\filer300/USERS3001/E1018060/Documents/R/win-library/4.0/file40ec4064183/GGIR/testfiles/GENEActiv_testfile.bin': Invalid argument

However, if I do exactly the same on my private computer, everything is working perfectly well… 

I already tried version R 4.0.3 and R 4.0.4 for Windows and >Tools > Install packages, also mannually with the .zip files from CRAN. Furthermore, other packages (as dplyr, ggplot2), can be installed without any Problems.

Do you have any idea what the issue could be?

Here are some things you could try:
- First remove existing installation of GGIR, you may need to delete it manually from the R package library directory.
- Update all packages via Tools > Check for package updates.
- If your work IT system does not like you to install packages manually, you could get around it by changing the default R package storage library to a location you have rights for. I have encountered this once and after I changed the default path it worked for me. You may need to reinstall R for this.
