That fix from STAT545 issue 429 worked for me on Windows 10. That is, running find_rtools() led has_devel() to work:

The suggested fix of running find_rtools() then has_devel() worked for me. I downloaded and installed Rtools then did the following
# R version 3.3.3 (2017-03-06)
# Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)
# Running under: Windows >= 8 x64 (build 9200)
install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
has_devel() # has error
find_rtools()
has_devel() # now it works
Output was
> install.packages("devtools")

I am on win10 with R 3.4.1 x64. everthing works fine except rtools which isn't recognized with rstudio (devtools). I can't build & load from source and naturally can't install devtools from github. In my rsession I get:
find_rtools(T)
Error: running command '"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-34~1.1/bin/x64/R" --no-site-file --no-environ --no-save --no-restore --quiet CMD config CC' had status 2
Sys.which("ls.exe")
ls.exe
"C:\rtools\bin\ls.exe"
Sys.which("gcc.exe")
gcc.exe
"c:\rtools\mingw_64\bin\gcc.exe"
running the command in cmd returns:
