Hello, Does Rbowtie2 not install on windows? I tried using the usual way for installation, and tried adding the compatible Rtools, but BiocManager still cannot install it.

Works for me.

> install("Rbowtie2")

In future, you should provide the code you used, the output messages, and the output from sessionInfo. Please note that there is this whole bit of text that comes up in the posting window that looks like this:

Code should be placed in three backticks as shown below

```r

# include your problematic code here with any corresponding output 
# please also include the results of running the following in an R session 

sessionInfo( )

That you apparently just deleted without reading. Or decided it didn't apply? If you want help, you should at least try to provide what's asked of you.
