library(rJava) 

Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rJava', details:   call: inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...)   
error: unable to load shared object 'C:/Users/Lauriane/Documents/R/win-library/3.3/rJava/libs/x64/rJava.dll':   
LoadLibrary failure:  The specified module could not be found.

For me the problem was caused because a 32-bit Java version was installed on the system, but I was running 64-bit version of R. Installing the 64-bit Java version solved the problem with rJava namespace environment. Because I am running a 32-bit browser I had to manually download the 64-bit Java version.
