Running a compiled exe on computer with MATLAB already installed but w/o compiler function

Hello, I recently received a compiled version of some software executables and a MCR runtime installer from a client. I installed the runtime installer without issue. When I try to run the compiled exe files, I get a Visual C++ Runtime Library error of R6034, saying "An application has made an attempt to load that C runtime library incorrectly." I have a full version of MATLAB on my machine (2011b), but I do not have the compiler function as it's not in my MATLAB license package. So I think that somehow the executable is not looking for the correct libraries or otherwise the fact that MATLAB is already on my machine is not allowing it to run.
When I installed the runtime on a machine without a full version of MATLAB I was able to run the exe files just fine.
So my question is how do I get the exe's to run via the Runtime, on a machine that already has a full version of MATLAB (without the compiler function) on it?
Thank you in advance for your sage responses!

Does the application automatically install the MATLAB Compiler Runtime (MCR) libraries the first time you attempt to run it? If yes, and you are still unable to execute it, then it is possible that your System path was not correctly setup. You could try running your application "as administrator" (at least the first time) and see if that lets your path be updated. If that still doesn't happen, locate when the MCR has been installed, and add target_directory/<version>/runtime/win32|win64 to your system PATH variable. See Steps by the Developer to Deploy to End Users.

If you're using Windows 7, see here for instructions on setting the PATH variable: http://geekswithblogs.net/renso/archive/2009/10/21/how-to-set-the-windows-path-in-windows-7.aspx
You need to add the path to the <MCR>/version/runtime/win32|win64 to this variable.
If the executable still doesn't run, follow Walter's suggestion about VC++ runtimes.

You probably need to install the Visual C++ runtimes associated with the compiler version they used.

Right, MCR 710 does correspond to R2009a. I once put together a table; see http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#What_are_the_versions_of_MATLAB_and_associated_runtime_files.3F
