R help - Apr 2003 - R(D) Com under R1070

Dear List,

I have unregistered the working installation of R(D)COM from r1060 as
described in http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/dcom/ReadMe.txt,
and have re-installed it for r1070.

Now, vbtest gives the following message:

Loading StatConnector Server... Done
Initializing R...Function call failed
  Code: -2147221485
  Text: installation problem: unable to load connector
Box: Method '~' of object '~' failed.

Releasing StatConnector Server...Done

Any ideas?

Suggestions:
a) Reinstall R *and* the DCOM Server.
b) Maybe environment variable R_HOME pointing to a non-existing version 
of R?
c) Ask the DCOM server's author (Thomas Baier) directly.

Must be C:\progra~1\R\r1070. The default setting (e.g. in registry) 
of C:\program files\R\r1070 reproducably generates the error message.
This error probably does not occur in German versions of Windows,
as C:\Programme is 8.3 compatible.
