MATLAB: Not able to run Matlab Standalone Executable

MATLAB Compilermcrstandalone executable

I have several Matlab functions that I have turned into standalone executables and have had success running them on several different machines (all Unix) in the not-so-distant past. All of a sudden I cannot run these programs and get the message:

Could not access the MCR component cache.

The weird part is that other people are able to run these standalone executables on their remote machines, but even if I log into their remote machines using my own user credentials I cannot get it to run.

It does not make sense that this message would pop up for me, but not for someone else logged on to the same machine.

Any ideas?

MATLAB: Could not access the MCR component cache Error

Not sure, but could it be that the extracted CTF archive somehow got corrupted? I think it is usually extracted to C:\user_name\AppData\Local\Temp\userid\mcrCachen.nn (where the 'n' stands for a number). If you can find the file, perhaps you can delete it and run your executable again to see if it is regenerated. If you can't find it, you could try deleting the files in your Temp folder (usually C:\user_name\AppData\Local\Temp\) and try again.

MATLAB: How to resolve issues associated with MATLAB Compiler Runtime cache corruption

Delete the “mcrCache” folder used by the application and rerun the application.The “mcrCache” folder can be located by executing the following command in MATLAB Command window:

mcrcachedir

Note that “mcrCache” folders have the form “mcrCacheX.Y,” where X and Y indicate MATLAB Compiler Runtime (MCR) version. The “mcrCacheX.Y” output by the above command may not correspond to the version of the “mcrCache” folder used by your application.

Delete the “mcrCacheX.Y” folder used by the application. If you are unsure of which “mcrCacheX.Y” is used by your application, delete all folders of the form “mcrCacheX.Y” in the parent directory of the location returned by “mcrcachedir.”

For example, on my machine, “mcrcachedir” returns:C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\Parth\mcrCache9.8

But the parent directory “C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\Parth” contains folders “mcrCache9.1” and “mcrCache9.8.” Once you delete the appropriate “mcrCache” folder(s), try rerunning your application.

Alternatively, try changing the location of the “mcrCache” folder by typing the following into the Windows Command Prompt:

set MCR_CACHE_ROOT=<accessible_directory>

Where <accessible_directory> is some easy-to-find directory that you have the permission to modify (e.g. the Desktop). Then rerun the application from within the Windows Command Prompt by navigating to its directory and typing the application name in the same Windows Command Prompt.
