Matlab 2013a Student Version won't install on Mac OS X Yosemite

1 view (last 30 days)
As the question suggests, MATLAB won't install on Yosemite. MATLAB was working fine prior to the yosemite release. Once the new OS was installed, MATLAB was unusable. I uninstalled MATLAB in order to reinstall to see if this would fix the problem, however it didn't. I have re-downloaded the software from the mathworks website multiple times, and when i run the installer either directly through terminal or by clicking the installer directly from the folder, the MATLAB logo comes up briefly and then disappears.
When running in terminal the error message that comes up is as follows:
Preparing installation files ... Installing ... Exception in thread "main" com.google.inject.ProvisionException: Guice provision errors:

--Any help would be very much appreciated. I use this software for my engineering degree and we have assignments due for next week and this would allow me to continue work on my laptop rather than having to live in the library.
Thanks in advance

I am having the same issue and I fail to see how the instructions on updating the installed software helps when I am unable to install.

I got this sorted. You need to install java 6 to run the installer.
get the file from here http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572
and follow these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5559
I managed to install matlab this way and then got to the point where the link provided at the top of the page is helpful.

I installed the file as you said and both uninstalling java 8 and having java 8 installed. i still wasn't able to install matlab. The file from apple didn't actually install onto my system at all, couldn't find it once the install process was finished.

I also try to install Java 6 & follow the instruction that was given by you, but I still can't install it
