I have following packages installed in addition to R base

rcom
RExcel
statconnDCOM

IIRC statconnDCOM and RExcel are on different directories.  rcom was installed 
on repo.

I'll run;
> update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE)

In the worst case I just reinstall abovementioned packages.  Any further advice 
before I start?

Thanks

Upgrading is mentioned in the FAQs / R for Windows FAQs.

If you have your additionally installed packages in a separate library 
(not the R base library) you can simply run

update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE)

If not ...
