Issu using startMATLAB in C++ with "MatlabEngine.hpp" in r2017b

Hello,

I'm trying to open a Matlab session from c++ with Visual Studio 2017 using the new engine "MatlabEngine". After the successful inclusion of "MatlabEngine.hpp", I have simply used the command below my main function:

std::unique_ptr<MATLABEngine> matlabPtr = startMATLAB();

I faced an issue during the execution of: matlab::engine::initSession --> matlab::engine::startMATLAB --> matlab::engine::startMATLABAsync --> engine_create_session. I receive an exception with a null pointer.

Can someone give me a hand on this problem? I'm using Matlab r2017b on a Windows 10 computer with Visual Studio 2017. Many thanks in advance,

Florian

Hello,

I haven't tried recently, but maybe I will test new version of Matlab to see if something has changed.
