Description
When I run the a file from RStudio, it runs without a problem. When I run using Rscript, I get this warning
Warning message:
In Sys.junction(from, to) :
cannot open reparse point 'C:/Users/upadmin/Documents/GitHub/dashboards/packrat/lib-R/base',
reason 'The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process'
However, when I search for for the directory using Resource Manager, I cannot locate any processes using that directory.
The rest of the code executes -- I'm not sure what a reparse point is and whether this matters, but it sounds important?

Start by reproducing the warning when running the reported project with Rscript on Windows 7, then trace the packrat path that invokes Sys.junction for the reported reparse point. Check whether the warning affects execution and establish whether completion means removing the warning or documenting why it is harmless.
