backports 1.1.1 package fails to install - r

I tried to install backports, but it doesn't seem to work either. I get this error when I try to install backports:

I'm getting a similar error with the backports R package. It's preventing the devtools package from installing a customised package which I've written.
I fixed it by installing the previous version of backports:
require(devtools)
install_version("backports", version = "1.1.0")

I solved it reinstalling Rtools (I'm running of Windows).

I installed the rtools package relevant to my computer but that didn't work. I also ran RStudio as an administrator and it didn't work either.

Thanks everyone for the support.
i figured it out . i had to run
install.packages("devtools,type="win.binary")

R markdown won't load due to a missing package, 'backports', which also fails to download.

Here I attempt to download an earlier version of 'backports' to deal with the issue. Any ideas where to look or how to approach this issue?

2: In install.packages("pbkrtest") :

It seems like that the installation keeps failing.
As a result, I couldn't use other code using caret packages.
I faced this problem as well on Windows 7. I did following steps in the sequence and it worked.
a) Make sure your R version is updated latest R release 3.2.3
b) The default sources seems to be installing Unix version. So I manually downloaded https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/pbkrtest/index.html for windows
c) Use manually install function from R menu to install the package.
Cheers,
Ratan
Check version of R by typing version in your console.
If version is not "version.string R version 3.3.2" or later then
Install new version of R from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/
Update R version using Tools => Global Options in RStudio.
install package using "install.packages("caret")" in your console.
do require(caret).
test using ?createDataPartition.
