This error occurs when you are trying to install toolboxes into an installation that is not the correct update level. This can most commonly occur when applying installation files acquired through the "Download Only" method as this only downloads the general release of MATLAB and toolboxes.

To fix this, confirm the update level of MATLAB that is already installed and make sure that your installation files match the same update level. An absolute solution would be to uninstall MATLAB and reinstall all toolboxes either through the online installer, or using the ISO image acquired from our website. The ISO image will contain the most up to date version of MATLAB.

MATLAB: External changes in script files not updated when run

This is due to the way the "run" function caches files. From the documentation for the "run" function:

If a script is not on the MATLAB path, executing the run command caches the script. In the same session and after calling run, you can edit the script using an external editor. Call clear scriptname before calling run again to use the changed version of the script rather than the cached version. If you edit the script with the MATLAB editor, run executes the changed version and there is no need to call clear scriptname.

The specific workaround to the attached script is to put this code on the first line of "script.m":

>> clear parameter_file
