Sergey,
Sorry I missed your post earlier. I had this same problem and I reinstalled the DDE Server and Excel Add-In, rebooted and it fixed it. I thought they were already installed as I could pull down data in Excel from Bloomberg, but reinstalling them fixed my R problem. You can find the downloads at http://about.bloomberg.com/contact_softwaresupport_upgr.html
Good luck.
Kent

Hello, again, everyone
I went through the code and narrowed down the problem
in blpConnect:
COMCreate("Bloomberg.Data.1") which then calls getCOMInstance does not work, because
getCLSID("Bloomberg.Data.1") returns
"Fehler: Invalid class string"
What is this problem???
Best,
Sergey
