I just did that:
1. Removed existing rcom in library
2. Opened R Console & installed rcom from CRAN (via Packages > Install
package(s).
rcom is installed in the library location pointed to by
R_LIBS=d:/Stat/R/myRlib
which is set in my .Renviron file; I'm no longer using
any system environment variable for that.
3. Loaded package rcom from menu Packages > Load Package...
I note message: Loading required package: rscproxy
4. On R Console command line, execute: comRegisterRegistry()
This returns NULL. Is that OK?
yes, this is ok. If you're logged in as Administrator or Power User,
then everything should work fine now.
5. (Should I have first uninstalled (D)COM and then reinstalled after
step #4?)
6. I leave R Console open now.
7. Open Excel 2003 and fro RExcel menu select Start R.
Get error message "Could not start RServer".
Close Excel.
Depending on the settings of RExcel, rcom or R/Scilab (D)COM Server will
be used. We've just discussed rcom so far.
8. Run the (D)COM "Server 01 - Basic Test": click "Start R". Get error
message "Method '~' of object '~' failed" and in StatConnector Test
window see:
Initializing R...Function call failed
Code: -2147221485
Text: installation problem: unable to load connector
At least now I'm not getting the VBA debugger opening. But something is
still very wrong.
The "Basic Test" only applies to R/Scilab (D)COM Server. After
installing the correct version for R 2.8.0 (see the list archives for
postings from yesterday), this should work fine. If not, I'd recommend
to install DbgView and have a look at the output. For me, this output is:

If DbgView does not produce any output, something has gone seriously
wrong (on your machine). If DbgView produces a similar output, please
study the output if this matches the setup on your machine. Please post
the output if you're not sure, but also don't forget to post, where R
ist installed and full information about the versions of the various
software you have installed (R, rcom, rscproxy, R/Scilab (D)COM Server,...)
