Hello, everyone! I have a problem with RBloomberg and this is not the usual "no administrator rights" problem. I have R 2.7.2, RBloomberg 0.1-10, RDCOMclient 0.92-0 RDCOMClient, chron, zoo, stats: these packages load OK. Then, trying to connect, I get following error message: conn <- blpConnect(show.days="week", na.action="previous.days", periodicity="daily") Warning messages: 1: In getCOMInstance(name, force = TRUE, silent = TRUE) : Couldn't get clsid from the string 2: In blpConnect(show.days = "week", na.action = "previous.days", periodicity = "daily") : Seems like this is not a Bloomberg Workstation: Error : Invalid class string Anyone encountered this problem? What is wrong and how can I solve it? Online, I found just one instance of this problem discussed, and it was in Chinese: http://cos.name/bbs/read.php?tid=12821&fpage=3 Thank you for your help!

Problem with RBloomberg (not the usual one)
2 messages · Sergey Goriatchev
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
