Description
Hi there,
I am having issues selecting the "Use packrat with this project" option in the "Project Options" dialog. Every time, the following "Install Build Tools" dialog pops up, I say yes, and it installs the new build tools.
When it has finished installing, the "Use packrat with this project" option is still unchecked, so I check it again just to get the same "Install Build Tools" dialog. I've tried this several times and have restarted the computer as well with no luck.
System info:
- Windows 10, 64-bit operating system
- R version 3.5.0
- RStudio version 1.1.456
Any help on this issue would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Billy

Research direction
Start by reproducing the repeated "Install Build Tools" prompt when selecting "Use packrat with this project" on Windows 10 with R 3.5.0 and RStudio 1.1.456. Trace the activation and installation flow to determine why the option remains unchecked; done means the build tools install completes and the Packrat option stays enabled.
