why do I get error "Error using actxserver (line 90) Server creation failed. Invalid ProgID 'TWS.TwsCtrl.1'. Error in ibtws"

I'm using Trading toolbox and real account in IB. Command I'm using is "ib = ibtws('',7496);"

>> ib = ibtws('',7496);
Error using actxserver (line 90)
Server creation failed. Invalid ProgID 'TWS.TwsCtrl.1'.

Error in ibtws

I have enabled active x in IB API. And I'm using Matlab and IB on a same machine.

thanks for your help in advance.

>> ib = ibtws('',7496); Error using feval Server Creation Failed: The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.

Error in actxserver (line 86) h=feval(['COM.' convertedProgID], 'server', machinename, interface);

Error in ibtws

Thank you for your answer. But I still get an error.

The server executable is missing a dependency.

Note: one reason that you can end up missing a dependency is if you are trying to use a 32 bit DLL from a 64 bit program. Everything needs to match up -- 64 bit MATLAB needs a 64 bit ActiveX control which needs 64 bit DLLs.

do you have any suggestions to solve this problem?

thank you in advance. Laimis

Dependency Walker is my only suggestion.
