Create zip file: error running command ” ” had status 127

Here is how I solved this problem on my Windows 7 computer:

  1. Install Rtools from HERE.
  2. Locate the folder that Rtools is installed. In my case it is at C:\Rtools.
  3. Add C:\Rtools\bin path to the system path.

Adding C:\Rtools\bin to the system path:

  1. Go to Control Panel >> System and Security >> System
  2. Go to Advanced System Settings
  3. Open Advanced tab
  4. Click Environmental Variables... button
  5. Select Path variable and click Edit button
  6. If there is nothing as a “Variable Value” you can simply write C:\Rtools\bin. If there is already a value, then add ;C:\Rtools\bin to the end of it.
  7. Click OK, OK…
  8. Restart R, it should work.

I hope this helps. I found the solution HERE.
