MATLAB: Shared libraries created in Matlab 2011a can’t be initialized in Windows 8 but works fine in 7

MATLAB Compilermatlab dllshared librarywindows 8

I'm facing an issue with a dll created from Matlab 2011a using MSVC++ 2010 compiler. The libABCInitialize() function works fine when the application is running in Windows7 but in Windows 8, this causes an access violation exception in m_interpreter.dll.
Any pointers to fixing this issue is greatly appreciated.

As per the link below, MATLAB 2011a has been tested only up to Windows 7 so it is expected for dlls created from R2011a not to work properly on Windows 8.
System Requirements - Release 2011a
The only way to fix this will be to recompile the dll again using R2012a and later versions. The link below shows a platform support roadmap for different Windows versions.
