Maybe reinstall Rtools?

Maybe reinstall Rtools?

I have tried that and reinstalling all the other packages as well but it doesnt work

Does this look familiar @jeroen?

In the meantime I would just install the previous binary version of rlang rather than the latest from source, until the binaries have been published.

To do this, supply type = "binary" argument to install.packages().

@sumana86543 you have the wrong make on the path. You need to put rtools on the path, see the section Putting Rtools on the PATH in https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/
