MATLAB: Do I get the error ‘The procedure entry point ucrtbase.terminate could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll ‘ with the standalone application

MATLAB Compiler

I have compiled my MATLAB code into a standalone application. I have no issues with it on Windows 10 or Mac. However, when I try to run it on Windows 7, I get an error window with the following message:

The procedure entry point ucrtbase.terminate could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll

How can I resolve this issue?

The error message 'procedure entry point ucrtbase.terminate is missing or could not be located' is usually related to a known issue with the Windows Universal C Runtime (CRT). There is a Windows CRT update that allows applications compiled with the Windows 10 SDK to be run on earlier versions of Windows. The Microsoft answers page linked below has details on how to install this update:

MATLAB: What is the setting for DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on Intel Mac to run an application created with MATLAB Compiler 4.5 (R2006b)

This bug has been fixed in Release 2007a (R2007a). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

There is an error within the documentation for MATLAB Compiler 4.5 (R2006b) Intel Mac beta within the reference section titled "UNIX Settings for Development and Testing" and "UNIX Paths for Runtime Deployment".

The settings listed under the subsection for Mac OS X are for Macs with PowerPC chips. For Intel Macs the settings should be as follows.

For Development and Testing on computers with MATLAB Compiler installed:

 setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH 
 matlabroot/bin/maci: 
 matlabroot/sys/os/maci: 
 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/JavaVM: 
 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Libraries
 setenv XAPPLRESDIR matlabroot/X11/app-defaults

For Runtime Deployment on computers with the MCR installed:

 setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH 
 mcr_root/version/runtime/maci: 
 mcr_root/version/sys/os/maci: 
 mcr_root/version/bin/maci: 
 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/JavaVM: 
 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Libraries
 setenv XAPPLRESDIR mcr_root/version/X11/app-defaults

MATLAB: Do I receive an error when starting a MATLAB Compiler 4.7 (R2007b) created standalone application on Windows Vista

This is a common issue on Windows Vista. Due to UAC (User Access Control) feature in Windows Vista, even if you are logged in as an administrator by default you do not have administrative privileges when an application is run in a normal mode (by clicking). To run an application in an administrative mode, you will have to right click on the application icon and select "Run as an administrator".

To work around this issue, you need to run the application as an administrator on Windows Vista .
