Why does my stand-alone application fail to find MEX-files from 'private' folders in the MATLAB toolboxes when deployed?

I receive the error:

 MEX file not found on PATH

when using either the Image Processing Toolbox, MATLAB Excel Builder, or MATLAB COM Builder.

The current fix to this problem is to recreate the MATLAB path on the deployment computer.

For example, consider the DLL:

C:\matlab6p5\toolbox\images\images\private\imhistc.dll.

On the deployment computer, you will need to create the entire tree:

c:\matlab6p5\toolbox\images\images\private\imhistc.dll.
