This is an issue with the MATLAB add-in for Visual Studio that occurs if there are any directory names with white spaces on the MATLAB path. This issue has been forwarded to our development staff to be fixed in a future MATLAB release.

The name displayed in the error log as the offending file is a section of the directory name that appears after the space.

 A workaround to this problem is to remove the spaces from the directory names or remove the directory in question from the MATLAB path.  After doing this, you should run the following commands:

cd(prefdir)                      %change to the preferences directory

mccsavepath               % update the mccpath file to reflect the changes made to the MATLAB path
