I believe this says that some command involved in making the Rcode0
target returned error code 53.>

If the first one is the active PATH, that's your problem: someone has
overridden the default PATH, and the Rtools aren't on it. (You see the
active PATH in the CMD shell by typing PATH at the command line. It
should look like your system PATH, but with the %systemroot% etc macros
expanded.)
