I had downloaded (D)COM server 3.0 beta and installed it several days ago. But I just discovered why, even with that, why things were not working: It was the path to (D)COM! I had to execute the RExcel Set R Server > Configure R server(s) command and enter the path to (D)Com there. I don't t

(D)COM server 2.5.0 does not work with R 2.8.0 because the inner workings of R have been changed. We already have a beta version of (D)COM server 3.0 working with R 2.8.0, and Thomas already posted to the list where to get it. Murray Eisenberg wrote: > The setting for the Excel R Server was Backg

The setting for the Excel R Server was Background. When I set it to Foreground, I could indeed start R from the Check Server button in the R Server dialog. So what is the role of (D)COM to be? Do I have to wait until some one or more of the various components -- (D)COM itself, rscproxy, rcom,

Check if your server is set to foreground server in Excel: RExcel -> Set R server In this dialog box you also can check if you can connect to the foreground (rcom) or background ((D)COM) server. The foreground server does not need the (D)COM server. It needs rcom and rscproxy. A minimalistic vers

If you also install rcom and then run library(rcom) comRegisterRegistry() that should solve your problem. The reason is that RSrv250 installs an outdated version of RExcel which has this problem. The package RExcelInstaller on CRAN installs the latest version of RExcel which does not have this p
