In download_fun(exe_URL, destfile = exe_filename, quiet = FALSE, :
cannot open URL 'https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/Rtools35.exe (recommended)': HTTP status was '404 Not Found'

Obviously the "(recommended") string is erroneously included into the URL

Nelson-Gon commented

Could you share some details such as the exact code you used, OS type and R version?

Same here (Win7, R 3.6.0):
install.Rtools() for the current version 3.6 led to the following:

Please remember you are using: R version 3.6.0 (2019-04-26)
tryURL 'https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/Rtools35.exe (recommended)'
Explanation of the error: You didn't enter a valid .EXE URL.

I also think the (recommended) was pasted after the .exe in the url. Installed now a previous version (from the selection), which worked fine.
