Matlab 2012a compiler and standalone exe file

Hi,

IT department helped me to install Matlab 2012a in my laptop, but I couldn't find "Compiler" folder under "\MATLAB\R2012a\toolbox". What can I do for that?

And I use 64bit windows7 and 64bit Matlab. I want to generate standalone exe file and run it on the 32bit windows 7. What can I do?

Can I get more details about these questions?

Thanks.

Fei, technically, the response from "Image Analyst" is correct, but in order to see what it is in your license one need to be MathWorks employee. I will send you an email, CCing your license admin. If you remain to have question, please contact MathWorks Service departments.

First I'd ask them why they installed a 2 years old version 5 releases behind. Then tell them you need the compiler toolbox. Apparently they installed someone's old MATLAB who did not have the compiler. Type "ver" on the command line to see what toolboxes you have.

Once you have the compiler, then to run it on a 32 bit system, you have to run the 32 bit version of MATLAB and then compile your program with mcc or deploytool. Then you have to deploy the 32 bit version of the MCRInstaller.exe to your target system. You can have both 64 bit and 32 bit versions on MATLAB on your computer at the same time. Basically you need to run and compile in the version that you want your target computer to use, and the end users have to use/install the MCRInstaller.exe with the same release year and bit number as you compiled with.

Hi,

Thanks.

I asked license owner, and he said we would have full functions for 2012a. That means I have to re-install the Matlab on my computer with "Custom Installation", not "Standard Installation". Is it correct?

And does one license work with different bit software?

Thanks.

I don't know about that. I just get my installer from the Mathworks and it has everything that I've bought already bundled into it.

One license works with both installations of 32 and 64 bits. You are not charged two checkouts or installations just because you installed both bit versions. It thinks you have only one "activation" even though both bit versions are installed. I have both 32 and 64 on both my home and work computers and I am not considered to have 4 activations.
