Errors Installing and Calling R Packages

I recently got a new work computer where they reinstalled RStudio on it. The RStudio version was the same as the one I had on my previous computer which worked perfectly.
On my previous computer I would install and call the packages from a local folder by simply typing this code .libPaths("C:/R/Lib"). This worked perfectly for me, but now with my new computer I get an error whenever I try to call these libraries. The error message I'm getting is:
> .libPaths("C:/R/Lib")
>
Error in rbind(info, getNamespaceInfo(env, "S3methods")) :

In addition: Warning messages:

2: In readLines(file, skipNul = TRUE) :

In addition: Warning message:

Any suggestions on how to solve this issue is greatly appreciatted!

install.packages("devtools") fails

I'm new to installing packages and R,
It looks like my devtools library is missing.
I was trying to install swirl,
I got the following message :
> install.packages("swirl")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/cory/Documents/R/win-library/3.5’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

I then tried the following :
> library(devtools)
Error in library(devtools) : there is no package called ‘devtools’
So I downloaded devtools in zip format and tried loading it
> getwd()
[1] "C:/Users/cory/Documents"
I downloaded the devtools zip in the same folder, and renamed it to devtoolz zip
I tried running the command again
> install.packages("devtools")

What steps should I take to get the devtools installed?
Many thanks! :)
I found a way around this,
In case it helps someone else :
*In Rstudio, it tuns out it is possible to install a package without downloading locally and without pointing to an URL (which I also had tried). Because it is integrated with CRAN-mirrors, I was able to simply type devtools in the box and select it from the existing drop-down menu.
It proved more efficient than trying to manually import it through RGui.*
I had the same issue, I just closed my RStudio and opened it, and it worked.
