I wanted to try packrat, but I ran into a warning and error message upon initializing it on a project:
> library(packrat)
> packrat::init()
Initializing packrat project in directory:
- "\\userhome/myuser/R_scripts/ratpack_test"
Adding these packages to packrat:

Warning message:
In Sys.junction(from, to) :

Error in ensurePackageSymlink(source, target) :
Target '\\userhome/myuser/R_scripts/ratpack_test/packrat/lib-R/base' already exists and is not a symlink
It says cannot set reparse point 'my_custom_path', reason 'Incorrect function', and Target already exists and is not a symlink. Has anybody experienced a similar behavior? I'm running R 3.2.0 and Windows10.
