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. Thomas Baier wrote: Murray, Murray Eisenberg schrieb: Still, when I I try "Server 01- Basic Test," I get a pop-up "StatConnector Test" window. If I click th

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 a

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? RExcelInstaller now installs RExcel in Program Files\RExcel One of the reasons is that it can even be used withou

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
