Thank you for reporting. I know about this issue. It arises in RDCOMClient package on which 'excel.link' depends. New version will be released just after the fixing RDCOMCLient issue: https://github.com/omegahat/RDCOMClient/issues/19
Any idea on when this might be updated to accommodate R4.0+? I realize it's dependent on RDCOMClient.
Thank you, --Rich
Sorry, I don't know how to fix it. So only vague answer "just after the fixing RDCOMClient".

Could using this fork of RDCOMClient help in solving this issue?
@tamamushiiro Thanks, I will look at it next week.
Any light shed in that matter already?
I incorporated the functionalities around communicating with the active excel instance heavily into my (and my colleagues) workflows. We can't go on using R3.* forever :-)
I was able to install the RDCOMclient package using the repo pointed out in Tamamushiiro's post with the latest R version: install.packages("RDCOMClient", repos = "http://www.omegahat.net/R")
@florian-sk Yes, I see that RDCOMClient is working. So I will try to release new version this week.
Uh, exciting. Thanks for the efforts!!
New excel.link version is on CRAN now and will be built in the several days. It works on my machine and I hope will solve this long-standing issue.
It seems new CRAN version still failed when installed. I continue investigation:(
Hi, I've just updated R to the 4.1 version and I have the same issue, it seems R crash once I use any function of the package...is there any news about a possible solution? Thanks
@gabgel From which version of R did you upgrade? Could you try to reinstall excel.link from CRAN?
It seems bug was fixed with version 0.9.10 at 2021-11-02
Awesome job! Can confirm it works fine with R 4.0.4 and excel-link 0.9.10.
When running the following two lines of code R 4.0.1 aborts. For various versions R 3 there is no problem. I have included run information below:
library(excel.link) xls <- xl.get.excel() ####################

I have been using excel.link for several years under R3 without any problems, and I would like to continue to use excel.link.
