Why do I get a 'javalauncher.dll' error message when attempting to launch the MATLAB Installer?

I am trying to install MATLAB, and the Installer is failing with the following error message:

This error can occur if your installer's files are corrupt or located in a non-local location.

To resolve the error, try copying the Installer onto your local machine. If the issue persists, please re-download or re-extract the installer directly onto the machine in question. 

If you are unable to resolve this problem after following these steps, please contact MathWorks Support using the following link:
