MATLAB: Do I receive an error about the ‘specified procedure could not be found’ when running MBUILD -SETUP in MATLAB Compiler 4.0 (R14)

-setupMATLAB Compilermbuildmexsetup.pmprocedurespecified

When I execute the setup for MBUILD, I receive the following error:

 --> "C:\matlab7\bin\win32\mwregsvr C:\matlab7\bin\win32\mwcomutil.dll" 
 Error: 0x0000007f Message: The specified procedure could not be found.  
 Undefined subroutine &mexsetup::expire called at C:\matlab7/bin/win32/mexsetup.pm line 818.

Best Answer

Before installing the MATLAB Compiler, you should uninstall any prior versions of MATLAB 7.0 and fully delete the entire MATLAB 7.0 directory tree. You should then reinstall MATLAB 7.0 (R14) and all other toolboxes including MATLAB Compiler.

After doing this, the error has been known to disappear.

MATLAB: Do I receive a DLLRegisterServer error when using the MBUILD command from the MATLAB Compiler

This error generally indicates that the current user does not have sufficient permissions to modify the registry. The MBUILD command uses the MWREGSVR command to register two COM components with Windows.

To verify that the issue is permissions, open a DOS window and enter the following commands for releases prior to MATLAB R2009b:

 cd $MATLABROOT$\bin\$ARCH$
 regsvr32 mwcomutil.dll

For releases beginning with MATLAB R2009b:

 cd $MATLABROOT$\runtime\$ARCH$
 regsvr32 mwcomutil.dll

Where $MATLABROOT$ is the MATLAB root directory and can be found by typing MATLABROOT at the MATLAB command prompt. $ARCH$ is the computer's architecture, and is either WIN32 or WIN64.

If this command returns an error similar to the following: ERROR: DllRegisterServer in mwcomutil.dll failed. Return code was: 0x80070005

this will confirm that the cause of the MBUILD failure is insufficient permissions. For more information on regsvr32 permission requirements, refer to the following Microsoft reference URL:

NOTE: If you are encountering this issue on Microsoft Windows Vista, please ensure that you are running MATLAB as Administrator. To start MATLAB as Administrator, right-click on the MATLAB icon and select 'Administrator'.

MATLAB: How to use the MEX, MCC, and MBUILD commands on a local machine when I have a PC network installation of MATLAB

This error is the result of a conflict between the drive letter specification of the drive where MATLAB is installed and the drive letter specification used at run time. This is usually the result of MATLAB being installed on one computer while it is being accessed over a network from another.

Please try the following to use the MEX, MCC, MBUILD commands on a MATLAB PC network installation:

1.On the network, edit mex.bat and mbuild.bat to add an extra level of indirection in locating MATLAB. You need to change:

set MATLAB=X:\matlab

to:

set MATLAB=%MATLAB%

2. On each computer from which MEX or MBUILD is to be called, add an environment variable called MATLAB and set it to the root directory of MATLAB, relative to that computer. To do this on Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME, edit the autoexec.bat file and add a line similar to the following:

set MATLAB=Y:\matlab

To do this on Windows NT and 2000, right-click on the My Computer icon, select properties, select the Environment tab, and add a MATLAB entry to the System Variables section.
