MATLAB: Do I get the error: “The dynamic link library libmmfile.dll could not be found in the specified path.” even though I have installed the runtime libraries

alonedeploydeploymentlibraryMATLAB Compilermglinstallerruntimestand

I get the following error even though I have installed the runtime libraries:

 The dynamic link library libmmfile.dll could not be found in the specified path

A listing of directories from the system PATH variable then follows this error. The library installation directory IS listed, what could be the problem?

I have run the MGLINSTALLER utility on a Microsoft Windows machine where I wish to install my MATLAB Compiler generated application.

The problem usually occurs due to a lack of global permissions on the MATLAB Runtime Library files, and the directory in which they are installed.

To prevent this error please log into the machine as an administrator and change the permission of the following directory such that everyone has the ability to read it and the files located in it.

$MATLABROOT\toolbox\runtime

(where $MATLABROOT is the MATLAB root directory on your machine)

Please note that $MATLABROOT can be replaced with $MCRROOT

(where $MCRROOT is the MATLAB Compiler Runtime root directory on your machine)

MATLAB: Do I receive the error “Aborting installation…” when trying to run the MCRInstaller on Windows NT

This bug has been fixed for Release 14 SP1 (R14SP1). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:

This has been verified as a bug in way that the MCRInstaller handles the installation on a Windows NT machine.

Currently, to work around this issue:

1. Ship the following file along with the MCRInstaller:

$MATLAB\toolbox\compiler\deploy\win32\unzip.exe
(where $MATLAB = the MATLAB root directory on your machine)

2. On the target Windows NT machine, run the MCRInstaller.exe.

Let it fail with the "Aborting installation..." error message.

3. After it fails, copy unzip.exe (from Step 1) to the target installation directory specified in Step 2.

4. Open a DOS command prompt and change to the target installation directory specified in Step 2. You should see the following files:

 _MCRInstaller.exe
 matlab.ico
 mcr_banner.bmp
 mcr_splash.bmp
 unzip.exe

5. Issue the following command from the DOS command prompt:

 unzip  _MCRInstaller.exe

Note that _MCRInstaller.exe and MCRInstaller.exe are two different files. MCRInstaller.exe extracts the _MCRInstaller.exe file at some point during the installation. Be sure that the unzip command is used on the _MCRInstaller.exe file in the target installation directory.

6. Add the following directory to your system path:

$MCRROOT\v70\runtime\win32

where, $MCRROOT = target installation directory specified in Step 2

For example, if you specified the following installtion directory in Step 2:

   D:\Applications\MathWorks\MATLAB Component Runtime

Then,

$MCRROOT = D:\Applications\MathWorks\MATLAB Component Runtime

And you should add the following directory to your system path:

   D:\Applications\MathWorks\MATLAB Component Runtime\v70\runtime\win32

MATLAB: Libraries

I'm sorry, I think I made a mistake in my answer to your previous question - there should be no blankspace between -l and your library name. Also, you don't need to add the .lib extension since MEX does that automatically for you. Try:

>> mex -IC:\OgreSDK\samples\include -IC:\OgreSDK\include -LC:\OgreSDK\lib OgreAppSource.cpp -lOgreMain_d -lOIS_d
