MATLAB: How to deploy the standalone executable to other machine with MATLAB R14SP3

deployMATLAB Compilerr14

I have compiled my function to a standalone execuatable. I want instructions on how to deploy this exe to my other users to run it on their machine. I noticed 'deploytool' utility is not available in R14SP3

Deployment Tool GUI (DEPLOYTOOL) in MATLAB was launched from R2006b release and later. For earlier releases:

To deploy your component to a target machine that does not have the same version of MATLAB installed as your development machine (or any version of MATLAB for that matter), you need to package the components and configure the target machines as follows.

Note : mcr_root refers to the complete path where the MCR library archive files are installed on your machine. Since mcr_root is version specific, you also need to include ver, which you can determine after you install the MCR

Windows:

1.Your component, i.e., the stand-alone executable or shared library

2.The CTF archive that the Compiler creates for your component (<component_name>.ctf)

3.MCRInstaller.exe(This file is located in the <matlabroot>\toolbox\compiler\deploy\win32 directory.)

On the target machine, do the following:

1.Install the MCR by running MCRInstaller.exe. During the installation process, you will be prompted for a directory in which to install the MCR, for example, C:\MCR.

2.Copy the component and CTF archive to your application root directory, for example, C:\approot.

3. Add the following directory to your system path:

<mcr_root>\<ver>\runtime\win32

Note :On Windows XP, this directory is automatically added to your path.

4.Test the component.

For a detailed description of the above process for operating systems other than Windows , please refer to the following documentation link:

MATLAB: Is it possible to deploy the compiled application in MATLAB 7.0 (R14) and install the MCRInstaller in silent mode

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2006b (R2006b). For more information see the Related Solution listed below.

For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

The following steps will accomplish a silent install of the MCR on a Windows deployment machine:

1. Unzip MCRInstaller.exe file in a writeable directory. This extracts the necessary files for the MCR installation. We provide a command line UNZIP utility in $MATLABROOT\toolbox\compiler\deploy\win32 for this purpose ($MATLABROOT is the root directory of your MATLAB installation). Execute the following commands in DOS:

 unzip.exe MCRInstaller.exe

This exposes the file MCRInstaller.msi, which is a standard Windows MSI package that includes the MCR archive.

2. Install the MCR with the following command:

 msiexec /q /i MCRInstaller.msi

This installs the MCR in the directory

%PROGRAMFILES%\MathWorks\MATLAB Component Runtime\vXX

The variable %PROGRAMFILES% is typically C:\Program Files by default.

XX is the MCR version.

In a similar fashion, to uninstall the MCR silently:

 msiexec /q /x d:\...\MCRInstaller.msi

For a network install of the MCR, see the Related Solution.

MATLAB: Do I receive an error message of “mclmcr.dll not found” while deploying the application on a target machine using the ‘MCRInstaller.exe’ in MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2)

This behavior is observed in MATLAB due to a corrupt installation of the MCR.

To work around this issue, add the <mcrroot>\v72\bin\win32 folder to the system path, where mcrroot corresponds to the directory into which the MCR is installed. However, this may cause problems with other versions of MCR since the file 'mclmcrrt72.dll', which calls the 'mclmcr.dll', is version specific.

Hence, the other option is to reinstall the MCR using 'MCRInstaller' on the target machine.

You can find the 'MCRInstaller.exe' in the following directory:

$MATLAB\toolbox\compiler\deploy\win32

(where $MATLAB is the MATLAB root directory as returned by the following command:

matlabroot

)
