Cannot open connection

Hi, I have tried to install tabulizer using your installation instructions with Administrator rights on R console for Windows, but terribly got these issues:

What's probably wrong with this?

Try with devtools::install_github("ropensci/tabulizerjars") and then devtools::install_github("ropensci/tabulizer")

I'm having a similar problem on windows. The closest I've gotten is using devtools, but I get the error: "JAVA_HOME cannot be determined from the Registry" (among others) when installing tabulizerajars. I'm on a PC and I've installed java. All the other packages load separately. Here is my script:

install.packages("stringi")
install.packages("httpuv")
install.packages("htmltools")
install.packages("sourcetools")
install.packages("evaluate")
install.packages("markdown")
install.packages("stringr")
install.packages("yaml")
install.packages("testthat")

library("stringi")
library("httpuv")
library("htmltools")
library("sourcetools")
library("evaluate")
library("markdown")
library("stringr")
library("yaml")
library("testthat")
library(devtools)

Sys.setenv(JAVA_HOME = "C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_92")
Sys.setenv(JAVA_HOME = "")

devtools::install_github("ropensci/tabulizerjars")

I've successfully installed it by using the similar code as mentioned by @leeper at https://github.com/ropensci/tabulizer/issues/14#issuecomment-243227379 with args argument: library(devtools) install_github(c("ropensci/tabulizerjars", "ropensci/tabulizer"), args = "--no-multiarch") Run the code on R Console (not RStudio) with Administrator permission (Run as administrator). But, first of all try to make sure that all dependencies like rJava, etc are properly installed.
