I am resubmitting this bug report but with additional information. I am running this with windows 10: w64-mingw32 with R Under development (unstable) (2017-12-04 r73829). I build 'httk' from the command prompt using 'R CMD build httk' after installing the required packages. Then when the vignettes are being created, it crashes. Today I installed the latest versions of Rtools, MikTex and R-devel and still got the same error. We have also replicated this on another machine. I am able to successfully build the package in this way with R 3.4.3.

Everything works fine until: 'creating vignettes...' . Then I get a pop-up stating: 'R for Windows front-end has stopped working... close the program'. I have installed the latest version of R, and this error does not occur.
