Thanks Erich,
Apologies for the confusion. I was unaware that unregistering the server was the same process as uninstalling the (D)Com server. I generally uninstall R(D)COM server by using the uninstall application in "C:\Program Files\R\(D)COM Server\uninsl000". I take it this this not the recommended way to uninstall? I will wait for the new R and Friends to test further. THanks for your helkp it is much appreciated.

The Control Panel item Add or Remove Programs should have an item R/Scilab (D)COM server and RExcel1.75 (or similar) This should allow you to uninstall. otherwise, you should do it manually with the following command line C:\Program Files\R\(D)COM Server\bin\StatConnectorSrv.exe /UnRegServer (possibly you have to use a different path) I will roll a new package RAndFriends later today which then will take care of installing a complete working system. Today R 2.7.0 will be released, and once that is out I will create a new RAndFriends. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi Erich, > > Thanks for your help. > > I have a couple of questions though.
