Thanks for that information; I sure hope this cures the troubles.
Question: Off-topic, but intimately related...
Rprofile.site, in the R 2.8.0 etc directory, includes the lines:
library(utils)
if (.Platform$GUI %in% c("Rgui","Rterm")){
if(!("rcom" %in% installed.packages()[, "Package"])){
install.packages("rcom", dep = T);
require(rcom);
dummy<-comRegisterRegistry()} else {
require(rcom)}}
I'm not sure whether they were already there in the version of
Rprofile.site that came with the 2.8.0 distribution or whether I put
them there because I had them there in for an earlier version of R.
But obviously they block doing package update of rcom, and hence of
rscroxy, from within Rgui, since these packages are already loaded when
the R command line becomes available within Rgui.
Is it OK to comment out those lines temporarily from Rprofile.site in
order do the package update?

The latest rscproxy is 1.0-12. 1.0-11 is buggy. Wait for the compiled

the source of the new version from the austrian mirror of CRAN.

I have R 2.8.0. In its library I have the latest rcom (2.0.4) and
rscproxy (1.0.11) from CRAN (as of 15 minutes ago). I installed the
latest RExcelInstaller (3.0.5), and I still have the recently
installed DCOM from R_Scilab_DCOM3.0-1B1beta.exe
When I start R it tells me that rcom and rscproxy are required
packages that have been loaded. Just to make sure, I executed:
library(rcom)
comRegisterRegistry()
Still, when I I try "Server 01- Basic Test," I get a pop-up
"StatConnector Test" window. If I click the Start R button, I see:
Loading StatConnector Server... Done
Initializing R...Function call failed
Code: -2147221485
Text: installation problem: unable to load connector
and I get a separate "Test1" pop-up saying "Method '~' of object '~'
failed.
And still if, from Excel's RExcel menu item I select R Start, I get a
pop-up saying: Could not start RServer.
What's going on here?
