I'm trying to install the urbnmapr package from github in RStudio but am getting an error that my PCs address limit is too small while there is lots of memory available. I've already tried the solution provided in this thread.
I'm using devtools::install_github("UrbanInstitute/urbnmapr")
and getting the following console prints:

As you can see from this error: Error in utils::memory.limit(104000) :
don't be silly!: your machine has a 4Gb address limit
Execution halted my memory is definitely big enough but still stops the installation. My sessionInfo() is as follows:

For additional info I'm using a single pagefile to increase my memory limit, but have plenty of memory to allocate more than 4Gb without it and afaik 64-bit Windows 10 should very much be able to have a higher address limit than this. I have 32GB of dRAM installed using an Intel i7-6700K which supports up to 64GB of dRAM. Would be glad for any help!
SOLVED, posting in case someone else has the same problem.
To use the pagefile as memory for large data I used invisible(utils::memory.limit(104000)) in my .Rprofile, removing this and starting RStudio without without loading my environment (i.e. a different, smaller project or a new file) and just installing the packages in that session didn't throw the error and the installs worked. Re-upped the memory.limit and restarted R afterwards, everything works as it should.
