Fix for error trying to install Data Quality Dashboard

Were installing the Data Quality Dashboard R package using the instructions here:

Which indicate the following should be run from R:
install.packages(“devtools”)
devtools::install_github(“OHDSI/DataQualityDashboard”)

However, when we run it we get errors like what is shown below.

— ERROR ------------------

Warning: package ‘DatabaseConnector’ was built under R version 4.0.5
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘DatabaseConnector’:

  • removing ‘C:/_WORKSPACES/_ECLIPSE_WORKSPACE/workspace/OMOP-Synthia/omop-synthea-etl/renv/library/R-4.0/x86_64-w64-mingw32/DataQualityDashboard’
    installation of package �C:/Users/greshje/AppData/Local/Temp/Rtmp8uWnJX/file51bc27b720e/DataQualityDashboard_1.0.0.tar.gz� had non-zero exit status

etc…
— END ERROR --------------------

Our initial research suggests this is a missmatch between R and Java 32 v 64 bit versions. However, we confirmed this was not the issue. We were able to resolve by using the following instead.

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("OHDSI/DataQualityDashboard",  INSTALL_opts=c("--no-multiarch"))

This same fix seems to apply to pretty much all of the packages that use the database connector.
