When I attempt to start Simulink 6.0 (R14) by typing "simulink" at the MATLAB prompt or by clicking on the Simulink button in the MATLAB toolbar, the program fails to start and the following error is returned:
Mex file entry point is missing. Please check the (case-sensitive)
spelling of mexFunction (for C MEX-files), or the (case-insensitive)
spelling of MEXFUNCTION (for FORTRAN MEX-files).
??? Invalid MEX-file 'D:\Applications\MATLAB7\bin\win32\simulink.dll': The specified module could not be found.

This problem has been fixed for Simulink 6.0 (R14). It would sometimes happen when attempting to start Simulink from the $MATLAB\bin\win32 directory (where $MATLAB is the MATLAB root directory on your machine).
Currently, to work around this issue, try changing to a directory other than $MATLAB\bin\win32 prior to starting Simulink.
