Hello,
I attempted to install it from source and received the following error. (I also get the same output and error if I use devtools::install_github)
I am using the current version of R (3.3.3) and the current version of Rtools (version 3.4.0.1962) on Windows 7.
R version 3.3.3 (2017-03-06) -- "Another Canoe"

I'm not sure if this package is still maintained, it seems like it's been a few years since there were any modifications to the code. It would be a shame if this went away; while there is a hodgepodge of solutions on CRAN that make excel or other ms office files, I don't think they matches the power and flexibility of being able to control the computer through this interface...

I was able to download a prebuilt binary from by calling:
install.packages("RDCOMClient", repos = "http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/")
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the requirements for building this package and it's not expected that it will build using Rtools 3.4 toolchain.
Thank you.

Is there a version of the RDCOMClient package available for Mac OS X El Capitan? Else what is the alternative?
Thanks
