Issue installing R package from github using devtools

问题

In similar fashion to the following question:

Error when using install_github: 'exdir' does not exist

I cant seem to install packages from github using the devtools package, getting the following error on all packages I've tried (slidify, rCharts, rga, magrittr etc...):

Error in unzip(src, list = TRUE) : 
  zip file 'C:/Users/.../Rtemp\RtmpGIlGBA/master.zip' cannot be opened
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In unzip(src, exdir = target, unzip = getOption("unzip")) :
    error 1 in extracting from zip file

I've changed the temporary directory to somewhere writeable in case this was the problem:

    write("TMP = 'C:/Users/.../Rtemp' \n
           TMPDIR = 'C:/Users/.../Rtemp' \n
           TEMP = 'C:/Users/.../Rtemp'", 
            append = TRUE,
            file = file.path(Sys.getenv('R_USER'), '.Renviron'))
    readRenviron(".Renviron")

But to no avail. I have also setwd() to somewhere else and checked whether there is an issue with unzip() by getting the zip file from github directly:

temp <- tempfile()
download.file("https://github.com/ramnathv/slidifyLibraries/archive/master.zip",temp)
unzip(temp)

This appears to work fine, and I've since installed the packages using build() etc... but it is not as handy as the install_github(). Any ideas?

Here is my sessionInfo() :
