That "Method '~'of object '~' failed" error you’re getting is a problem with how statconnDCOM is setup on your machine. It has nothing to do with EViews. Given that, I would try the following:
1. Re-install 32-bit R and make sure that the option to "save the path and version information" in the registry is selected.
2. When you run R, make sure you are running R 32-bit. When you launch R, look for the title in the main window. It should say “RGui (32-bit)”. Or look for the “Platform” line (usually this is the 3rd line from the top) in the “R Console” window. It looks something like this:
Code: Select all
R version 3.1.0 (2014-04-10) -- "Spring Dance"
Copyright (C) 2014 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: i386-w64-mingw32/i386 [b](32-bit)[/b]
3. Make sure you installed the “rscproxy” library properly inside of R. You can check for the existence of “rscproxy” by typing in:
and make sure it returns something like this:
Code: Select all
Loading required package: rscproxy
Assuming that steps 2 & 3 are ok, you may need to reinstall the statconnDCOM package by re-running their installer.
Finally, try their test program again.
Beyond this, I'm not sure what to tell you except to try a different machine. I've done these steps on Windows 7 & 8 and their test program works fine for me (as does EViews).
