Splash Screen not working, compiled using 2014b

I created a compiled application using Matlab 2014b. I found out that since MATLAB 2014a, the compiler includes a splash screen by itself which appears while the MCR is unpacking. This was a solution to my previous problem of slow loading Matlab application.

I found on the Matlab Answers that some how this feature does not appear when the MCR is itself packed in the application, so I created a web download version but I got no success. What should I do? (My application includes a windows command window as well)

I guess I figured out the reason (not the solution though). The splash screen does not work if the windows console is activated in the compiled program. I am not sure why is this!

I have the same problem on my Win7-64 system, compiling in MSVC-2013. Did Mathworks get back to you on this?

NOPE

Did you get in touch with Mathworks?

This is a user Answers forum primarily which many employees of Mathworks do check and respond to, but it isn't Mathworks tech support which has always responded very promptly when I have sent in bug reports or queries.
