MATLAB: Appdesigner Packaged App not starting

Question

Hello,

I created a standalone desktop app using App Designer R2019b. When I try opening the resulting exe file, I get the following error after it shows the initial splash image.

Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

Thanks,

Mathew

Answer 1

This might be a DLL shadowing issue. Can you try coping the standalone exe file to <matlab root>/bin/win64 or <mcrroot>/bin/win64 and launching it from there? This can ensure the exe will launch proper version of DLLs that shipped with MATLAB or MCR.
