MATLAB: Do I get an error when installing MATLAB Compiler Runtime (MCR) for MATLAB 7.9 (R2009b)

librariesMATLAB Compilermicrosoftmsvcredist

I have an application that needs MATLAB Compiler Runtime 7.11. During installation, I got the following warning message:

 WARNING! .NET Framework 2.0 is not installed. If your application requires it, select Cancel and install .NET Framework first. Otherwise, select OK to continue.

I ignored the warning; but, after installation, I could not use my application software which was compiled using Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition. Then, I uninstalled MATLAB Compiler Runtime 7.11, installed .Net 2.0 and installed MATLAB Compiler Runtime 7.11 again. I still see the same message showed during installation and I cannot use my application software, it gives the following error message:

 The application is not configured correctly. Re-install the software may fix the problem.

This problem occurs because the machine, where you are running the MATLAB Compiler generated component on, does not have all required Visual Studio 2008 runtime libraries installed.

The runtime libraries are also available on Microsoft's website:

After installing the runtime libraries on every machine, run the MATLAB Compiler generated component.

MATLAB: Do I receive an “application has failed to start” error message when loading DLL into MATLAB with LOADLIBRARY

In order to properly load a DLL compiled using Visual Studio or Visual C++ on a machine that does not have the program, two conditions must be met during the deployment process:

(1) The end user must install the version of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package that matches the version of Visual Studio from which the DLL was installed.

(2) The DLL must be built in Release configuration in Visual Studio/C++, not in Debug configuration. The Release configuration embeds manifests into the binary file that describe the DLL's dependencies on the Visual C++ runtime libraries. These manifests are required to properly link the DLL to the runtime libraries.

If the DLL fails to load on a machine that already has the matching version of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package installed, recompile the DLL in Visual Studio using the Release configuration.

MATLAB: Am I unable to distribute the stand-alone application built with the demo version of the MATLAB Compiler 3.0 (R13)

A demo version of the MATLAB Compiler 3.0 (R13) limits users such that they are not allowed to distribute their compiled stand-alone application. The full version of the MATLAB Compiler is necessary in order to distribute your compiled application to others.

There are two ways in which the demo version of the MATLAB Compiler differs from the full version:

First, the MGLINSTALLER, which normally resides in the following directory, does not exist in the Demo version of the MATLAB Compiler and Libraries:

$MATLAB/extern/lib/win32      (where $MATLAB is the root MATLAB directory)

The MGLINSTALLER is needed to distribute stand-alone applications to users who do not own MATLAB. This is not necessary in the demo version of the MATLAB Compiler because applications created with the demo version cannot be distributed.

Second, stand-alone applications created with the demo version of the MATLAB Compiler require a license file before they will run. This license file should be located in your $MATLAB\bin\win32 directory. That directory must be on the system path before any other installation of MATLAB.

If you install the stand-alone application on a system that does not have MATLAB, you will receive an error such as:

 Could not check out a license for CPP_Math_Library

 License Checkout Failed...

With the full version of the MATLAB Compiler, the generated executable does not check for any licenses. This is only used to prevent distribution of applications created using the demo version of the MATLAB Compiler.
