MATLAB: If I have mclmcrrt8_1.dl installed then why application is looking for mclmcrrt7_16.dl

mcr

I am trying to run one application in Matlab. During invocation of this application I am getting error related to mclmcrrt7_16.dll. The error says, could not find version of 7.16 MCR. The MCR present on my system is mclmcrrt8_1.dll. This is suppose to be backward compatible I think so. Please help me in resolving this issue. Thanks in anticipation.

Hi,
the MCR is NOT backwards compatible. You need to install the version 7.16 of the MCR (would be MATLAB R2011b). This is stated here:
http://www.mathworks.com/help/compiler/working-with-the-mcr.html
"The MCR is version-specific. You must run your applications with the version of the MCR associated with the version of MATLAB Compiler with which it was created."
