Issues with the Microsoft^® Windows^® Vista® Operating System

The following are known issues with Windows^® Vista® as of this release:

• With User Account Control (UAC) enabled, a standard user is not able to write to a directory in the c:\Program Files directory. See the MATLAB Release Notes for more details regarding this issue.

• With User Account Control (UAC) enabled, a standard user is not able to register DLLs. When mbuild -setup attempts to register mwcomutil.dll, the following errors are displayed:

  Trying to update options file:
    C:\Users\qe\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2007a\compopts.bat
  From template:
    C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2007a\bin\win64\mbuildopts\msvc80compp.bat
  
  Done . . .
  
  --> "C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2007a\bin\win64\mwregsvr C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2007a\bin\
  win64\mwcomutil.dll"
  
  Error: DllRegisterServer in C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2007a\bin\win64\mwcomutil.dll 
  failed
  Undefined subroutine &mexsetup::expire called at C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2007a\bin\/
  mexsetup.pm line 839.
  

  This is also the case when MATLAB Builder for Excel invokes mbuild in an attempt to register DLLs after a compilation completes.

• The following message is displayed when MATLAB Builder for .NET, attempts to install a DLL into the Global Assembly Cache from a network location:

  Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly
  'GACInstaller, Version=1.0.2568.30711, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or
  one of its dependencies. Failed to grant permission to execute. (Exception from
  HRESULT: 0x80131418)
  File name: 'GACInstaller, Version=1.0.2568.30711, Culture=neutral,

• Printing from a compiled application is not currently available with Microsoft Windows Vista. The following message is displayed if you attempt to print on systems with the Microsoft Windows Vista 32-bit operating system installed:

  PrintImage Error
  StartPage failed with error 6: The handle is invalid.
  

  Printing with Vista 64-bit installed results in an error message that lists a manifest as missing. Please check http://www.mathworks.com/support/ for updates on these issues.
