Failed to load MCR

I have an old application that gives me an error when I run it. The error message states: "Could not find version 7.13 of the MCR. Attempting to load mclmcrrt713.dll. Please install the correct version of the MCR." I tried to install this version, but it is no longer available. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Ahmad,

The error may be due to a difference in your MATLAB release and the release that is supported with MCR version 7.13. This version is supported in releases before R2011b. For more information on release compatibility, please refer to the following documentation link: https://www.mathworks.com/products/compiler/matlab-runtime.html.

Also, the mcrversion command can be used to find out the MATLAB Runtime version supported with the current MATLAB version: https://www.mathworks.com/help/compiler/mcrversion.html.

So, the possible solution is to try to install MATLAB Runtime from the version in which the old application was created. Additionally, you can request the creator of the application to provide the runtime, as they would have all the details regarding the relevant MATLAB release and Runtime version.

I hope this information helps!
