Research direction
The reported entry point is packrat::init("H:/elicit_falls") on Windows; first reproduce it and inspect the DBI installation and extraction step, including the R CMD INSTALL command shown. Done means initialization installs DBI without the missing DESCRIPTION error, extraction warning, or non-zero exit status.
