You can change your code in this way, and it will work.
%%
status = openR;

% Running a simple K-S test to determine whether two samples have the same distribution
a = rand (100,1); % creating a random signal
i = pi/100 :pi/100: pi;
b = (sin (i))' + a; % creating second signal

% Putting both signals into R
putRdata('a',a);
putRdata('b',b);

% Running ks.test in R and retrieving the output
evalR ('output <- ks.test(a, b)')
getRdata ('output')

closeR;

I want to launch R from MATLAB.
I have been using R2.7.0 and DCOM Server 2.5.0 successfully.

I want to upgrade R to 2.8.0 (and later 2.9.2) and I realize that I have to change the DCOM Server. I did the following:
1. Downloaded and installed R 2.8.0 from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/old
2. Changed Window system path to point to R-2.8.0/bin
3. Downloaded and installed R_Scilab_DCOM3.0-1B5.exe from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base (took all options)
4. Installed R package rscproxy_1.3-1.zip from http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rscproxy/index.html

I rebooted the computer and run statement openR in MATLAB, a Visual C++ Runtime error box appears, with error message:

Also, I ran the provide (D)COM Server test (Server 1 – Basic Test) from the Windows Start button. In the popped up Window “StatConnector Test”, I click “Start R”, and I got the Visual C++ Run-time error message:
Program: C:\...\Statco~1.exe abnormal program termination.
When error dialog box is OKed, the error “Initializing R .. Function call failed” appeared in the StatConnector Test window.

As a result to this, MATLAB failed to run openR, resulting in a similar Visual C++ Runtime error.

Thanks for help.

i had a similar problem to sophie. I downloaded the package rscproxy to my R installation and the problem went away.
