If you used spawn file contribution then your probably need to recompile the Cc code into a DLL: the DLL that is provided is probably only for Windows 32.

Thank u Walter Roberson I have windows 8.1 64 bit .Is it possible to compile 64 bit system?

I am not positive, but it looks like if you cd to the directory where the spawn.c code is, and you invoke

mex -v spawn.c

that you will get out an appropriate dll that would probably be named spawn.mexw64

Note: the difference between using spawn() and dos() is that spawn will allow you to access the exit code of what you run. spawn() is not for creating multiple threads, at least not in the form coded (but that could be adapted.) spawn() as coded waits for the process to finish.

spawn() is not at all suitable for the case of creating processes you need to be able to interact with by using standard I/O .
