I just tested this and as far as I can tell there are no missing
files. Are you sure there isn't a local problem with your system
permissions or antivirus that is removing the files?

Try to verify the md5 of the installer; some enterprise firewalls are
tampering with downloads:

  openssl::md5(url('https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/R-devel-win.exe'))
  readLines('https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/md5sum.txt.R-devel')
