Philip, could you please take a look at the file
http://sourceforge.net/p/octave/code/11662/tree/trunk/octave-forge/main/io/inst/private/__COM_spsh_open__.m#l19
? Note the comment calls this __COM_xlsopen.m__ (why are the underscores after the 'm' and not the 'open'?)
## __COM_xlsopen.m__ - Internal function for opening an xls(x) file using COM/ActiveX
but it is actually __COM_spsh_open__.m.
Where is the "actxserver" routine that gives a portal to ActiveX?
app = actxserver ("Excel.Application");
Perhaps that is where there is an feval failing with com_set.
That's an issue I noticed after building the installer. The problem lies in the windows forge package. It still used the dispatch system, but this has been removed in current development branch. So the package fails to load properly. I've released a new windows forge package yesterday, which fixes the issue, but it's not included in the binary installer I made.
If you need that functionality, I can produce an updated installer for the windows forge package.
Michael.
