Re: [Rcom-l] status RExcel, rcom, rscproxy, R2.8.0: confused still
That was an older post. I've gotten the (D)COM beta and RExcel to work with R 2.8.0 by explicitly setting the path to (D)COM in RExcel.

First, I don't know what it means to say that a server is typed or untyped. Second, I never put any programs on C: unless their installers give me no choice. Drive C: is for the operating system, device drivers, etc. I reserve drive D: for programs. Such granularity makes backing up easier and safer. Third, RExcel is in D:\Stat\R\RExcel. That is NOT R_HOME. My R_HOME is D:\Stat\R. Erich Neuwirth wrote: Did you do an uninstall of the previous version of the (D)COM server? Your problem should not have happened if you had uninstalled. Were your servers configured as typed or as untyped?

Starting R with the command line
RGui --vanilla
starts R without reading Rprofile.site,
then you can safely update everything.

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);

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 foreground server does not need the (D)COM server. It needs rcom and rscproxy. A minimalistic version of getting something that works is Unistall any previous version of the (D)COM server from the control panel. Install R Install the packages rscproxy, rcom, and RExcelInstaller then run the following commands library(rcom) comRegisterRegistry() library(RExcelInstaller) installRExcel() After that, RExcel should work.

Re: [Rcom-l] status RExcel, rcom, rscproxy, R2.8.0: confused still
The latest rscproxy is 1.0-12. 1.0-11 is buggy. Wait for the compiled binary or compile yourself from sources. I could download this morning the source of the new version from the austrian mirror of CRAN. Murray Eisenberg írta: 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.
