I am using excel.link package to read a xlsb excel file, but I am receiving a error.

The code:

library(excel.link)
D = xl.read.file("filename.xlsb", xl.sheet = "sheet1")

The error:

Error in COMCreate("Excel.Application", existing = FALSE) : 
  Failed to create COM object: Fail in server execution

Is there a way to bypass this error?

Do you have Excel installed? – aventurin Mar 20 '19 at 20:44
Yes, I do. The function xl.get.excel() returns "An object of class "COMIDispatch" Slot "ref": " – Rodrigo de Sá Mar 20 '19 at 21:03
