Missing XLCALL32.DLL in blpConnect() call (R)

I just installed RBloomberg and when I call blpConnect() it returns an error saying "This application has failed to start because XLCall32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may 开发者_Python百科fix this problem."

So, until here, re installing has been done three times including once through (install.packages("RBloomberg",repos="http://r.findata.org/")) and no change

I added the dll in R's path using Sys.setenv(PATH=..) and still the same error. Any idea on that issue?

Thanks

Whomever stumbles here. I had the same problem. I used Bloomberg Excel API diagnostics to find problems and do a repair. Once done, this issue went away.

this dll is a part of ms office - locating it under office installation folder and copying to C:\blp\API\Office Tools folder worked for me.

I think it is just not in the path - I copied to C:\WINDOWS
