MATLAB: Matlab R2016b does not want to install on the mac (OSX 10.11.6)

el capitaninstallation problemMATLABmatlab r2016bosx 10.11

Matlab installer throws an error when it tries downloading the files. It says that _3p/icu_maci64_1469210360.enc_ is not a directory (or folder). I have an external drive simlinked to my home folders so maybe it is this?

Best Answer

I got it working. The installer did not like the fakt that my Download folder was actually a simlink (technically not a folder) linked to my external hdd. I had to remove the Simlink and reCreate a proper Download folder in my home directory.
