I installed the "XLConnect" package which appears to be successful and then 
tried to load the "XLConnect" library and got an error as shown below. Any 
ideas as to where to look for the source of the error? The word "release" in 
the error message makes me think it is some issue with the version of 
"XLConnect" but that is just a guess.

I am running the latest version of R available on CRAN on Windows 10.

> install.packages("XLConnect")
Installing package into ‘E:/Data/OneDrive/Documents/R/win-library/4.0’
