Executing regsvr32 is absolutely _not_ necessary. 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). Links (full, i.e. non-cran version, R2.10.x): 1.5.1: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2602516/swissrpkg/bin/win32/2.10/xlsReadWrite_1.5.1.zip devel: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2602516/swissrpkg/bin/win32/2.10/xlsReadWrite_0.0.0.zip Hope this helps! (Otherwise feel free to contact me by email (gchappi gmail), this really must work).
