antique versionscancelioex errorMATLAB and Simulink Student Suite

I get the following error message when trying to start MATLAB : "MATLAB.exe – Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point CacelIoEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll." I am running Windows XP Professional and I have re-installed MATLAB and rebooted my computer. I have also checked the Path and it seems to be correct.

You can find explanations in the internet, if you ask your favorite internet search engine for the appearing terms. E.g. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363792%28v=vs.85%29.aspx :
The function CacelIoEx is supported since Windows Vista. This means, that your Matlab version will not run under WindowsXP. Which Matlab version do you try to install?
See e.g. the requirements for R2015b: http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/current_release/index.html?sec=windows : Win7 SP1 or higher...
