Compile a .EXE into program and launch?

Hi all,

I have developed a piece of software, for which the user may occasionally need a separate standalone .EXE.

I have compiled it into the program using DeployTool, but I am unsure how to launch it in my code? I've created a menu entry for it, but i'm not sure what function to use to execute it.

Thanks,

Matt

Does anybody have any more suggestions? I can't figure this one out.

Answer 1

I have just found the winopen function.

This works well, I can launch a PDF or EXE.

Hi,

if you want to launch an external application from your MATLAB code you can use system command.

Hi,

Thank you - unfortunately I have used the system command and it works fine until I compile the program, then it no longer launches the program that is on my computer.

What I really want to do though is compile the standalone EXE I have into my program, so that when my program is installed, the user can run the EXE compiled in from the menu.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Matt
