It suffice to copy the dll to the correct place (C:\Program Files\R\R-2.10.0\library\xlsReadWrite\libs). Unfortunately there is/was a bug in xlsReadWrite 1.5.1 such that with a custom R_Libs path the existing dll was not replaced (iirc). This and the relative-path bug has been fixed in the devel version. If you download the full version, the package is supposed to work right away. I currently still use XP (but don't know of any problems related with Windows 7 or Vista).

(Otherwise feel free to contact me by email (gchappi gmail), this really must work).

Sorry, forgot to mention I'm running R 2.10 on Windows 7, and I ran the command window as Administrator.

Re: [R] Failed install of package xlsReadWrite
Hi, all. I too got this error, and when I went to register the correct DLL (thinking the one downloaded but not installed might have been the development version) I got an error that the registration had failed. What I typed: C:\Program Files\R\R-2.10.0\library\xlsReadWrite\libs>regsvr32 xlsReadWrite.dll The error dialog returned is attached. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Apart from info on www.swissr.org (thanks for pointing this out) you can always download the file directly. The full listing is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2602516/swissrpkg/listing.html Direct links to the current (R2.10.x/1.5.1 pkg) version, either: - download the zipped dll: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2602516/swissrpkg/bin/win32/shlib/xlsReadWrite_1.5.1_dll.zip and manually replace xlsReadWrite.dll (in e.g. 'C:\Programme\R\R-2.10.1\library\xlsReadWrite\libs') or - download the full package: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2602516/swissrpkg/bin/win32/2.10/xlsReadWrite_1.5.1.zip and re-install. Note: 0.0.0-versions are development versions. They will be updated when there is something 'fixworthy' while a new official version is 'in wait mode'. Currently 0.0.0 fixes a bug with non-absolute file paths in 1.5.1.

[R] Failed install of package xlsReadWrite
Does anyone have a work-around for a failed installation of this package?
> library(xlsReadWrite)
xlsReadWrite version (cran shlib)
Copyright (C) 2010 Hans-Peter Suter, Treetron, Switzerland.
!! Your installation contains the cran placeholder shlib (dll/so).
Please get the regular shlib (420 KB) by executing the following command:
xls.getshlib()
However, the xls.getshlib() command fails with this error:
> xls.getshlib()
Loading required package: tools
--- xls.getshlib running... ---
Error in copyOrDownload(url) :

In addition: Warning message:

I am able to download the required ZIP files and extract the contents
manually but am not 100% sure
where they should be located, or how to remove/replace the "CRAN
placeholder".
