Do  libPaths    close every R runing  check in the first directory  remove the zoo package restart R and install zoo again  Of course you need to have sufficient rights

I had this problem and the issue was that I had the package loaded in another R instance  Simply closing all R instances and installing on a fresh instance allowed for the package to be installed   Generally  you can also install if every remaining instance has never loaded the package as well  even if it installed an old version

When you run   install packages  whatever     you got message that your binaries are downloaded into temporary location  e g  The downloaded binary packages are in     C  Users User name AppData Local Temp RtmpC6Y8Yv downloaded packages    Go there  Take binaries  zip file   Copy paste into location which you get from running the code    libPaths     If libPaths shows 2 locations  then paste into second one  Load library   library whatever    Fixed
