Each time I start R clicking Rgui short-cut on Win7 desktop. In order to clear
all residue I reboot Win7 and click Rgui short-cut to start R
Output:-
R version 2.12.0 (2010-10-15)

rcom requires a current version of statconnDCOM installed.
To install statconnDCOM type
installstatconnDCOM()
This will download and install the current version of statconnDCOM
You will need a working Internet connection
because installation needs to download a file.
[Previously saved workspace restored]
It seems no complaint there.
I start another Win7 64bit VM on this virtual machine
(Remark: This is a virtual machine with 3 Win7,64bit, 1 Win7, 32bit, 2 Ubuntu
10.10,64 bit, 2 Debian 6, 64bit, etc. running. All VMs have R installed)
evoke Rgui on desktop.
Output:
R version 2.12.0 (2010-10-15)

The output looks same as previous one up to:-

gdata not installed
> packageDescription("gdata")$Version
Error in packageDescription("gdata")$Version :
$ operator is invalid for atomic vectors
In addition: Warning message:
In packageDescription("gdata") : no package 'gdata' was found
> win.version()
[1] "Windows 7 x64 (build 7600)"
> R.version.string
[1] "R version 2.12.0 (2010-10-15)"
I also make comparison with R running on other Win7 64 and 32 bit VMs. The
output looks more less the same.

That is the correct version of gdata. I am using Windows 32 so there
could be some differences due to that. At any rate, can you start a
fresh R session and show the console output of the problems you have
seen. Use Rgui --vanilla to start R to be sure you don't have
anything else that might interfere and show everything including the R
startup message in the R console output.
