I am installing Tex Live for the first time. I am able to generate PDFs for the basic LaTeX files sample2e.tex, small2e.tex, testpage.tex, and nfssfont.tex, mentioned here.
When I try to build a book from R using the code below I get this (very long) error:
>system("xelatex -interaction=batchmode r-packages ")
This is XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.99999 (TeX Live 2018/W32TeX) (preloaded format=xelatex)

I think the relevant part of the error message is:

mktexmf: empty or non-existent rootfile!
kpathsea: Running mktexmf Inconsolata.mf
The command name is C:\texlive\2018\bin\win32\mktexmf

I've tried running the code suggested here, which seems to find Inconsolata on my computer:
C:\Users...>tlmgr search --global --all Inconsolata

tlmgr.pl install: package tlmgr.pl not present in repository.
tlmgr.pl: action install returned an error; continuing.
tlmgr.pl: An error has occurred. See above messages. Exiting.
And when I run tlmgr-gui.exe it lists the Inconsolata package as already being installed. So why do I get the error `Cannot find Inconsolata.mf.'? Thanks.

There is a inconsolata.fontspec in the package, which is used if you try to load the font by name. But it works for me on windows only correctly, if I call the font with a lowercase i, with uppercase I it breaks with your error message:
