Cannot find Matlab Coder, however its installed

I cannot start Matlab coder. I type "coder" in the command window, i get: "??? Undefined function or variable 'coder'." I have version 2011a. "Check for updates" panel says i have up to date Matlab coder , its version is 2.0.. What can be the problem?

This means there is proof the product was not successfully installed. I don't know why however. The only idea I have is to completely uninstall and reinstall. If you don't want that or already tried without success, please contact Installation Support.

A couple of different tests.

1. Licensed?

license('test', 'MATLAB_Coder') % Should return 1

2. Installed?

ver % Should return MATLAB coder (alphabetical order below MATLAB and Simulink)

3. Path issue?

which coder -all % Should return one coder.p file in ...\toolbox\coder\coder\coder.p

1. Licensed?

*ans =

1*

2. Installed?

there was no Matlab coder on the list, HOWEVER i have installed it, three times reinstalled it. In addition there IS Matlab coder on the Check for updates list

3. Path issue?

'coder' not found

BUT: there IS a coder.p file in my C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011a\toolbox\coder\coder folder.

reinstalling matlab doesnt help even custom install of matlab coder

A potential cause is having multiple MATLAB licenses available. Say, several student licenses and the toolbox is associated with a different student license than what you have installed.

Another potential cause (for Linux, at least) is if the permissions of your Coder toolbox folder are wrong.
