MATLAB: Do I get the error setup.exe bad image when starting the installer

Why do I get the error setup.exe bad image when starting the installer?

Best Answer

This error is indicating the installer is corrupt. This can happen after unzipping the installer. Usually this is caused by antivirus or other security software. Please disable the anti-virus temporarily while unzipping the installer or preferably before you download the installer from the MathWorks website. Then unzip and run the installer again.
