how to include multiple external .exe programs into your compiled matlab exe program

Hello,

I am trying to create a stand-alone program, which calls several executables within the code. My program works perfectly fine under matlab, but once i move the program to another computer with a different file-structure, it cannot find the additional exe-files any more. So far my work-around is replicating the same folder-structure. Is there any way to include the exe-files in my matlab-executable?

Example:

main_prog:

    prog_root = 'C:\folder_with_executables\';
    prog1     = strcat(prog_root ,'prog1');
    prog2     = strcat(prog_root ,'prog2');
    cmd       = sprintf('%s', prog1);
    system(cmd)
    cmd       = sprintf('%', prog2);
    system(cmd)

my usual compilation of choice is then:

mcc -m main_prog.m -o main_prog

That works all fine as long as the prog_root-folder with the exe-files exists. Otherwise an error occurs and it cannot find the prog1 and prog2 exe-files. Is there away to include it within the main_prog? (same as the normal additional matlab-files are included). What are the flags to set for compilation? Would appreciate any help.
