I had got this working back in March, but now (without any installs etc)
I get the same error as Bill now when I try and run '' conew 'prdcom'.
I tried deleting it and using install.packages again, but same problem.
But after installing using rsrv250.exe all was well. I'm not sure why
the install.packages doesn't work (now???), but suspect that the path to
the rcom.dll isn't getting properly set. For now it certainly seems to
be safer to install manually from the rsrv250.exe. I see Chris has
updated the Wiki accordingly.
