This error doesn't come from base R. If it is from RStudio, then either please refer to their support, or instead try without RStudio, and then if you run into these basic problems, a better matching list would be R-help.
Please download and install Rtools 4.2 from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/. I have downloaded it but dont know what to do further.
Basically in common cases you just run the .exe installer and accept the defaults. R will find the installed version automatically when it needs to install packages. But unless you have special need to use R 4.2, you could instead install the latest R 4.3. Tomas

Hello, Have you checked it is in the PATH system variable? After installing Rtools you must edit the Windows PATH. It not, the system will still find the older Rtools version. Hope this helps, Rui Barradas

No, well as long as we are talking about base R, which we should be talking about on this list. R automatically adds Rtools to PATH when it is needed there. R knows which version of Rtools it needs (R 4.2 uses Rtools42, R 4.3 uses Rtools43, R-devel currently uses Rtools43 but that will change before R 4.4 is released). More details are in https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/howto-R-4.3.html Tomas
Hope this helps, Rui Barradas
