MATLAB: Am I getting an error stating “The program can’t start because mcr.dll is missing from your computer” when I try to start MATLAB

MATLAB

When I try to start MATLAB on Windows, I get the following error message:
 
MATLAB.exe – System Error
The program can't start because mcr.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Best Answer

This error indicates that the file mcr.dll is missing from your MATLAB installation directory.
This can occur if certain antivirus software is installed (Webroot, etc.) and it quarantines the file.
To resolve the issue, open the antivirus software and restore the quarantined file mcr.dll.
