R-assembly build fails on zip server

Question

I am trying to create a package and the package generation will fail:

Warning: running command '"zip" -r9Xq "C:/path/package_name_version.zip" 
SEERtools' had status 127 running 'zip' failed

The package was built successfully, but the binary is missing.

Build Log:

> devtools::build(binary = TRUE,path=".")
"C:/Rpath/R-32~1.3/bin/x64/R" --no-site-file --no-environ --no-save --no-restore CMD INSTALL  \
  "C:\path" --build 

* installing to library 'C:/Libpath/library'
* installing *source* package 'package_name' ...
** R
** data
** preparing package for lazy loading
** help

** building package indices
** testing if installed package can be loaded

Warning: running command '"zip" -r9Xq "C:/path/package_name_version.zip" package_name' had status 127
running 'zip' failed
* DONE (package_name)
[1] "./package_name_version.zip"

The error message does not give clues where to look. I tried:

• Configuring read / write files for a folder
• Moved the folder to another folder

The problem is not that Create a zip file: the error execution command "" had status 127 , because the problem lies in the zip procedure. In this case, the zip function still behaves as expected (separately), but the specific zip command in the build function does not work.
