Check if your server is set to foreground server in Excel: RExcel -> Set R server In this dialog box you also can check if you can connect to the foreground (rcom) or background ((D)COM) server.
The foreground server does not need the (D)COM server. It needs rcom and rscproxy. A minimalistic version of getting something that works is Unistall any previous version of the (D)COM server from the control panel. Install R Install the packages rscproxy, rcom, and RExcelInstaller then run the following commands library(rcom) comRegisterRegistry() library(RExcelInstaller) installRExcel() After that, RExcel should work.
