The solution takes a few minutes, but is relatively straightforward, you can [install Rtools as a direct download from CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/). On there, pick the right version of RTools for your version of R, download the file and install.

Set the install location to your c drive, for example, if installing for R4.2.2, install RTools42 to `C:\rtools42` (this is the default location).
