R help - Aug 2017 - Error in setwd("dir") :

Hello, I got some of the R source code and not being able to Run it in
RStudio.
I get the error:

Error in setwd("dir") :
  cannot change working directory


I have gone through forums but nothing seemed relevant to my issue.
What bugs me the most is the ("dir") that the error shows, is of 
those who
wrote the source code and not mine(it still sees the directory of their
computer, even though, I have changed all the directories).
When I write getwd(), it dispalys my "dir".
Does anyone have any ideas on what's going on here?
Thank you

Did you put the directory in quotes with forward slashes? Please show
command used.

Try sourcing it with "echo=TRUE", so you can see which line is causing
the problem.  Presumably some part of the code still references a 
particular directory.

If you are loading binary objects (e.g. using load() or readRDS()), they 
may trigger code to run that may still have a directory coded.  But more 
likely you've just missed fixing something.

If you have the source code, why can't you change it and replace that 
"dir" with yours, as returned by getwd()?

Hope this helps,
