MATLAB: Compiled executable does not start

compilerdeploytoolexecutableMATLABmatlab compiler runtime

Hello,
i have written a program in Matlab. Now i want to create an executable with "deploytool" to run the program on different computers without installed Matlab.
After compiling the program i can start the executable and it works fine, but only on the PC from where i compiled it (on all computers with a installed Matlab version). But it does not work at the target computer with installed Matlab Compiler Runtime (Version 8.4 32 Bit). The compiling Matlab version is version 8.4 (R2014b) 32 Bit. Application Compiler is version 5.2.
After starting the program on the target computer it shows the typical default icon. After a few minutes it quits without any error message.
I did not find any hint what can cause such a different behaviour of the executable depending on the computer.
Thank you very much for your efforts.

Based on the comment you provided, you may want to guard the code that adds the path in your startup using the isdeployed function.
