Have followed the installation steps to the letter: having first unistalled previous versions of R and the Home-and-Student version of REXCEL.

1) Installing R - Run as admin and set option to save version number in registry:

2) Run commands to install rcom and RSC Proxy in both 32 and 64bit version. Both times with R running as Admin. The only exception message I note is the final comRegisterRegistry() NULL message:

3) Installed DCOM 32 & 64 bit

4) Copied license File to relevant DCOM directories (replacing the installed RExcel.lic file, which was dated Feb 24. I renamed these .old):


5) Finally installed R-Excel:


I still get the message that No R-Server is configured:


When I check packages in R, rcom and rscproxy seem to be loading: the debug info on these is as follows:

Am running Windows 10 (Version 1607 - OS Build 14393.953) and Office 360 (Excel 2016 MSO (16.0.7830.1018) 64 bit)

The message I get in Windows when I try to connect is:

"No R server configured. Please set R Server to work with RExcel"

Thanks for your help

Looks a bit strange for me. You said

rscproxy should now be in your R installation directory, but instead is in your user library directory. Can you please check if there might both be a package rcom in your R installation directory (subdir library) and in your user library directory (c:/Users/paulc/OneDrive/Documentsw/R/win-library/3.3).

Thanks for your help

Are you using foreground or background server? In either case, can you please provide a DebugView log file created while connecting to R from RExcel.
