Hi Josh and all,

No, it is a file on Linux OS
Start R as Admin
> update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE)
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---

It didn't work.
Start MS Excel 2007
to make sure following packages;
RExcel
rcom
statconnDCOM
work
To remove R 2.11.1
Start -> Control Panel -> Uninstall a program ->
highlight R for windows x64 2.11.1
-> Uninstall
Download Windows
R-2.12.0 for Windows (32/64 bit)
http://cran.at.r-project.org/
-> Windows -> base -> Download R 2.12.0 for Windows (32/64 bit)
-> Run
Select Destination Location
C:\Program Files\R-2.12.0
-> Next
select Default settings and add;
On-line PDF Manuals
[check] Technical Manual
[check] PDF help pages
SupportFiles for Package tcltk
[check] Timezone files for Tcl
[check] Tcl/Tk Help (Compiled HTML)
[check Test files
-> Next
Startup options
[check] No (accep defaults)
-> Next
Select Start Menu Folder
R
-> Next
Select Additional Tasks
[check] Create a desktop icon
[check] Save version number in registry
[check] Associate R with .RData files
-> Next
-> Finish
Installation went throught w/o complaint
To my surprise there are 2 R icons on desktop
- R x64 2.12.0
- R 2.12.0
I suppose the 2nd one is 32bit version?
I don't need 2 R versions here. This is a 64bit Win7. Can I delete the 32bit
R?
Start MS Excel 2007
-> start R
complaining R server not available.
I have to reinstall;
rcom
statconnDCOM
RExcel
Now R 2.12 is running on Win7. RExcel also works
B.R.

Hi Stephen,
I think .Rprofile is something you have to create yourself. It is not
needed, but you can create it and then put your customizations in it
(just put it in the same directory as the directory R starts in.
Cheers,
Josh
