When I try installing MATLAB 6.0 (R12) or 6.1 (R12.1) on Windows XP with a dongle license, I get errors similar to this:
Unable to install the device drivers. Try installing them using dongleutil.exe.
If I try to use dongleutil.exe, I get errors like this: ERROR: API error number: 0x2008007 API suberror number: 0x20007 System last error number: 0x2 API error description: Failed to start the Aladdin Device Driver. Failed to start a service in the Service Control Manager Database
The rest of the installation is fine. After installation, if I try to start MATLAB, I receive license manager error -9. How do I resolve this issue so that I can start MATLAB?
