[R] Cannot create Java virtual machine (-1)

[Bos, Roger]

All,

I am trying to get the XLConnect package to work on one of my servers and I am getting an error that XLConnectJars cannot create the java virtual machine.  The server is a 32-bit Windows  Server 2003 machine with R 2.15.1.  The version of Java installed on the server is J2SE Environment 5.0 update 8.  I know this not the latest version of Java, and I will try to update it when I get exclusive access to the server, but in the meantime is there anything else anyone can suggest for this error?


Loading required package: XLConnectJars
Loading required package: rJava
Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'XLConnectJars', details:

Thanks,
