RDCOMClient libarary compatibility
If you include omegahat in your repository using the Package menu at the top of RGui then you can just pick out RDCOMClient from the list. I do not use it with Bloomberg and have not seen this problem on my XP system but if you are stuck one possibility is to use the rcom package instead. The package and its mailing list are at the following respectively: http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/rcom/download/ http://mailman.csd.univie.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/rcom-l There is a new version of rcom that only works on R 2.2+ which has syntax that is very close to RDCOMClient and an older version that works on R 2.1 but whose syntax differs somewhat.

Hi, I have gone to http://www.omegahat.org/RDCOMClient/, I have downloaded the binary, and installed it through InstallPackage(s)FromLocal Zipfiles. but I get the same error message as Jonathan. BTW, that web page was last modified on 2003, and at least in the last minutes, the README.html and INSTALL.html files are "not found". Does anybody know what can we do about it? I also would like to learn how to download data from Bloomberg using the RDCOMClient. Is there somebody else who has tried that already? Cheers Jordi

I am using a v2.1.1 build of R on windows and am trying to use the
RDCOMClient library to download data from Bloomberg. When I
attempt to
load the library I get the error message:
Error in library(RDCOMClient) : 'RDCOMClient' is not a valid
package --
installed < 2.0.0?
Am I doing something completely stupid or is my RDCOMClient package
outdated? Where can I get the latest package?
Thanks.

Hello Jonathan, I received the same error when loading RDCOMClient at
first but then I found and used a different source package -
omegahat's
http://www.omegahat.org/RDCOMClient/ - this worked when
loading it from
the Packages -> InstallPackage(s)FromLocal Zipfiles menu option.
Results:
require("RDCOMClient");
Loading required package: RDCOMClient [1] TRUE
Please post on how yours goes. Beyond this part I haven't gotten far.
Cheers,
Aran Murphy
