Hello, 

Did you install R in a folder without space? There's a well known bug in Windows with rJava. 
Please follow all the installation  instructions in the documentation.

One possible mistake could be that you didn't set the right R path when installing calc.

E.g. if you install R into the folder c:\opt\R\R-3.1.1 , use this path when, during the installation process, it it asked to do so.

Thank you
Mino

para completar la intalacion de openforis me solicitan user y password, en openforis support me registre con el username "aletorrez" me sirve para ingresar eso como user para completar la instalacion

> to complete the intalacion openforis me ask user and password in openforis support me register with the username "aletorrez" helps me to enter it as user to complete installation (aletorrez)

Hello all,

aletorrez: the account for the open foris website has nothing to do with the installation of calc, so i'm not sure what to answer.

Ulrich: did you enter the right R path (C:\opt\R-3.1.2) when during Calc installation is asked to do so?
(you can check R_HOME environment variable)

Hi Ulrich,

I need to check your installation. can we connect via TeamViewer or similar software and talk via Skype? 
Let me know 
Thank you
Mino

Sure,

that would be helpful. Please get in contact via my Skype address ulrichflender. I am not always online with Skype-therefore it would be good to name a certain time to Skype first. I do have TeamViewer installed.

Best

Hi Ulrich,

I'm posting the solution we found, in case someone else has the same problem.
When using OS 64 bit, it's mandatory to install R 64 bit as well.

> Another question, related to this issue: Can we use last versions of JDK, Postgres, R? For R there seem to be a problem: R-3.2.2: Error: R.DLL version does not match (DLL:3.2.2, expecting 3.1.0) (joseph)

I faced the same error. However, installing R in a path were you have writing permissions (e.g. C:/R-3.1.2) solved the problem. I also found that R calc throws an error during the installation if you use the latest R Version 3.2.x
