MATLAB: How to resolve Simulink startup error regarding “loadLibrary Can’t load ‘C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011a\bin\win64\libmwsimulink.dll'” using Simulink 7.9

simulink

I started MATLAB and got the following error message:

"MATLAB:dispatcher:loadLibrary Can't load 'C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011a\bin\win64\libmwsimulink.dll': C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011a\bin\win64\libmwsimulink.dll is not a valid Win32 application."

How do I resolve this?

Best Answer

This may be a path issue. Installing 64-bit MATLAB on 32-bit Windows OS will not work.

Maybe the OS thinks it is a 32-bit application. It may look for said DLL at the wrong location. For a 32-bit MATLAB, this DLL is present at: '...\bin\win32'. Similarly, for the 64-bit MATLAB it is in 'win64' folder. This may error out with this message:

Can't load 'C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011a\bin\win32\libmwsimulink.dll'

It may try to load the correct DLL, but 32-bit OS cannot load 64-bit DLLs for execution. The issue may be resolved by a clean re-installation of 32-bit MATLAB on the 32-bit Windows OS.

MATLAB: Does MATLAB R2017a crash when I save and reload a Simulink.MDLInfo object

This is a bug in MATLAB R2017a (and earlier) that was fixed in R2017b.

To work around the issue, convert the object to a struct before saving it:

mdl_info = struct(Simulink.MDLInfo('vdp.slx'));
save('test.mat');
load('test.mat');
mdl_info
