Struggled a whole day, but still could not get DCOM working on my machine.
What I did is:
1. Installed R 2.8.1 under folder "../R/R-2.8.1"
2. Installed R_Scilab_DCOM3.0-1B5 under folder ".. \R\(D)COM Server"
3. Installed packages: rscproxy_1.0-12, RExcelInstaller_3.0-10,
rcom_2.0-4...
4. run the following commands:
library(rscproxy)
library(rcom)
comRegisterRegistry()
library(RExcelInstaller)
installRExcel()
Problems:
1) Got error message when I run "installRExcel()", which was
"The download site http://rcom.univie.ac.at seems to be currently
unreachable".
However, I can visit that website from IE-explorer directly.
2) If I run the basic test from (D)Com Sever, I got Runtime Error which
read "Program: ..\R\(D)COM~1\bin\STATCO~1.EXE abornal program
termination", and "Run-time error 462, the remote server machine does not
exist or is unavailable". Also, the DebugView generated the following
report:
