I searched Stack Overflow for fixes to this error and will put all the things that I have tried below that did not solve the issue. I have not had an issue on other computers but for some reason, reticulate does not want to work for me.

I'm trying to install XML Package to Rstudio Using the ribbon: Tools--> Install Packages --> Packages: to type XML, but the dropdown list opend had only this packages : xml2, XML2R, xml2relational, xmlparsedata, xmlr, xmlrpc2.
Next, I tried:
install.packages("XML")
but received the warning:
WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:
https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/Rtools/
Installing package into ‘D:/BCDD/Documents/R/win-library/3.6’

Warning in install.packages :
package ‘XML’ is not available (for R version 3.6.3)
So I followed the link above :https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/Rtools/
and using these questions:
Why can't I install the XML package
Cannot install package XML to R
Then tried
install.packages("XML", repos = "http://www.omegahat.net/R",type="source")
but received the same warning and more:

Any help to how to install the package XML will be appreciated
You can download the version you want from here: https://cran.rstudio.com//src/contrib/Archive/XML/
According to their GitHub repo, version 3.99-0.3 should work for you, I can't try it out coz I have R4.0 and I can install only the most recent [3.99-0.5].
Alternatively, when you choose the version you want and run on your R console:
devtools::install_version("XML", version = "3.99-0.3") # or the version you want
Have a try. Let me know.
Check this RStudio Support post which covers how to install older versions of packages.
Be sure to install rtools35 from the archive
Going to R 4.0.2 is not a particularly bad idea at this point.

What should I do, how to proceed?
From http://jgilfillan.github.io/2016/05/28/how-to-install-roracle-in-windows-7/
Download binary from oracle:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-technologies/r/roracle/downloads/index.html
The run the following command in r, substituting the file path:
setwd('xxxxx') # set to path of download
install.packages('ROracle_1.2-1.zip', repos = NULL)
Then load the library and use the package - you may have to change XXXX to whatever is in your TNS Names:
library('ROracle')
drv <- dbDriver("Oracle")
con <- dbConnect(drv, "USER GOES HERE", "PASSWORD GOES HERE", dbname='XXX')
test connection:
dbReadTable(con, 'DUAL')
Note that this has also been confirmed to work on Windows 10.
I had this exact problem as well, including the OCI_INC error. They actually talk about it in the INSTALL file in the .tar.gz package, you can read more there.
You have to set the OCI_INC variable to the include directory like this:
set OCI_INC=C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_2\oci\include
Or whereever your file is. Here was my complete setup to get things installed from an Admin privileged command line.
set OCI_LIB64=C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_2\BIN
set OCI_INC=C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_2\oci\include
set PATH=C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_2\BIN;C:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin;%PATH%
"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-30~1.1/bin/x64/R" CMD INSTALL --build "C:/Your/Path/To/ROracle_1.1-10.tar.gz"
Also, make sure to change client_2 to client_1 and OCI_LIB64 to OCI_LIB32 if you are trying to do a 32-bit install.
After following the steps (highlighted in red boxes).
I also ran commands below on R.
So, everything went through well on a Windows 7 64-bit, R 3.4 64bit environment.
Sys.setenv(OCI_LIB64="C:/Oracle/instantclient_12_2/")
Sys.setenv(OCI_INC="C:/Oracle/product/11.2.0/client_1/oci/include")
install.packages("ROracle", dep=T)
I had exactly this problem. It was caused because when installing RTools I did not check the 'edit PATH' checkbox. I uninstalled RTools and reinstalled it again, this time making sure the checkbox was checked, and it worked first time! Hope this helps.
I had a similar error when trying to install ROracle from source.1
After searching around a bit I had to undertake what others have mentioned as well as redownloading the tar.gz. When I double checked the download size it was 10KB instead of 234KB.
Re-Download source from: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ROracle/index.html
Updated the following Environmental Varibles in windows
SET PATH=C:\Rtools\bin;C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3;%PATH%
SET OCI_INC=C:\Oracle_11G_ClientR2\product\11.2.0\client_1\oci\include
SET OCI_LIB32=C:\Oracle_11G_ClientR2\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN
SET OCI_LIB64=C:\Oracle_11G_ClientR2\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN
R CMD INSTALL --build "C:\temp\ROracle_1.1-12.tar.gz"
Output should look like the following:

Error in getOctD(x, offset, len) : invalid octal digit
Along with the 'Basic Package' and the 'ODBC Package', with Oracle 11g, you should copy unpacked files from the 'SDK package' into the subdirectory instantclient_11_2. In this case, you will not need to define the environment variable Sys.setenv (OCI_INC = "...").
This is what worked for me:
Sys.setenv(OCI_LIB32="C:/oracle/product/12.1.0/client_1/BIN/")
Sys.setenv(OCI_INC="C:/oracle/product/12.1.0/client_1/oci/include/")

I installed SDK, ODBC and basic install client (also set Env variable path) and it is still not working for me. Any advise pls?
I could install some packages early ,but recently I can't install any packages nor can I update my packages.
For example,every time I try to install the "forecast" package with
install.packages("forecast")
,I get the following message:
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/Ge/Documents/R/win-library/3.3’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
also installing the dependencies ‘quadprog’, ‘tseries’, ‘fracdiff’,‘RcppArmadillo’
Packages which are only available in source form, and may need

These will not be installed
And I have tried to change a mirror using
chooseCRANmirror()
It just can't work.
Please someone help me

I use RStudio with R 3.3 and Windows 7 64bit, most of the other posts I have seen related to this is from OSX users getting slightly different error messages, and none of their solutions have helped me (downloading and installing symphony, not sure if i have done this correctly either)
Edit: Stedy's solution worked, thanks.
