Thread Subject: run compiled exe file on another machine

Dear All:

I was told that "mclmcrrt76.dll" was not found when I try to run the
exe file on another machine with no matlab in it. Could you give me
some suggestions about how to fix the problem?

Thanks a lot,


Joey

You have to have the runtime Matlab, MCR (Matlab Component
Runtime) installed on the target machine in order to run
compiled Matlab code. You need to locate the installer
called MCRInstaller.exe, copy it to the target machine, and
run it.

Yes, I have missed Randy's reponse. When I logged in, I can not see my
post from a list of my recent posts. I guess I did not post it
properly at the beginning, so I posted again. Now, I can see the post
was posted twice. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you Randy, I will try the method you told me : )

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Joey

Dear Randy and ImageAnalyst:

Thank you for your suggestions. I have found that "MCRInstaller.exe"
and tried to installed it on a computer without matlab. I was told
that .NET framework is not installed, please install it first. How can
I install .NET framework? Where can I find a installation file?

By the way, if I develop the exe file for someone else, will it
violate the copyright of matlab if I also give this "MCRInstaller.exe"
to that person?

Thank you very much!

Joey

Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Windows Updates -> Custom Update
and in the list of Optional Updates, ask to install .NET 2
(I'm guessing; .NET 3 is out but probably not used by Matlab yet.)

Thank you Walter, Randy and ImageAnalyst. The exe program finally
worked. I will try to compile a more complex code. By the way, could
anyone give me some suggestions about whether it is legal to copy that
"MCRInstaller.exe" for someone else so that they can run the compiled
exe file?

Best,

Joey

no distribution of matlab compiled execs is encouraged by
Matlab.

"Use MATLAB=AE Compiler to convert MATLAB=AE programs to
applications and libraries that you can distribute to end users
who do not have MATLAB installed."

Since MCRInstaller is part of the deployment, I would say
there is not a restriction on distributing it.

Sorry I didn't realize the problem with .NET. The documentation
does mention that:

"Note The MCR is version-specific, so make sure that you tell
end users of your components which version of the MCR is required.

If you are deploying .NET component applications to programmers
or end users, make sure to tell them to install .NET Framework
before installing the MCR. The MCRinstaller.exe must detect
the presence of .NET framework on a system for it to install
MCR .NET support. Alternatively, you can package .NET
Framework with the component installer that you provide to
them as part of your deployment package."

I see no restrictions or guidelines on trademark notices
mentioned anywhere in the compiler documentation. Sometimes
makers of a development product will require that you
include a statement like "Built with MATLAB (R)" on
your labeling and documentation, and will even specify
the size and placement of such labeling. I can't find any such
requirement here.

Perhaps someone from Mathworks will comment on the
distribution and marking restrictions/requirements?

I see, thank you.

Dear Randy:

Thank you very much for your kindly help. Your suggestions helps a
lot.

A sample stand alone executable file that could finish a simple
mathematic calculation was developed and tested on a pc without matlab
successfully. I met a problem in developping exe file using "mcc -m
mycode" mycode.m load a few subfuctions, load several neural networks
It works fine when I tested in matlab workspace. I was told that Class
":all:" is an unknown class, Element(s) of this class in array "com60"
have been converted to structures. The problem lies in the compiling
of ANN tool box. The mat data file in which the trained networks were
stored can not be loaded properly in the executable. Further more,
some commands in the ANN toolbox can not be recognized when compiled,
such as "sim" command.

How can I use Matlab compiler to finish this successfully, or do I
need to get another compiler to develop this executable?

Thanks a lot!

Joey

Nonsense.
You, as a developer, buy the compiler and can compile your MATLAB code
into a standalone executable. Then you can distrubute that executable
plus the MCRInstaller executable as much as you want with no
additional fee. It is encouraged by The Mathworks, in fact that's the
whole reason they created the compiler and runtime library in the
first place.

Not only that, but you can also install a complete version of the
MATLAB environment on your home computer so that you can work at home
without having to bring your work computer home with you.

ImageAnalyst

I think Chavo just forgot a comma, and intended to write this:

Really? Does that work if you are site-licensed to run
N copies on the network at work? I'd love to run Matlab
at home.

You will need to run the MCRInstaller.exe on the machine where you are trying to execute on. You will need Admin rights to run the installer. Once the MCR installer (MATLAB Runtime Component) has been installed, you will now be able to run your standalone executable.

Hope this helps...

I think you need a special license if you go portable.

Also, if you use a VPN to login to your work (in my case)
network, and then use remote desktop to access your
computer, then run matlab on the computer at work ... it
does not allow you to Remote Desktop Matlab. Have others
run into this?

Actually I have another problem... at work I use Windows so
I have the Matlab version for that OS, but at home I use
Mac. So could you suggest any solution in this case?

Furthermore, is Matlab Compiler the only solution to create
an execs without convert the matlab function to c++ and then
create the GUI?
If I read correctly all the previous post I think so, but I
want to be sure before say to my company I need the Matlab
Compiler. It's not so cheap, but if it's the only way.

I have used RealVNC (http://www.realvnc.com/products/download.html)
successfully with MATLAB in the past.

I should have been more clear ... if I connect remotely,
then try to run Matlab i get a license error, but I leave
matlab open then go home and remote desktop, then it works fine.

Regarding the question about Matlab for Windows at work and
at home you have the Mac version, the code should run the
same unless you are calling hardware not available on your
mac machine ... such as the winsound (sound card) it might
be different hardware, but check with forum and do some web
searches.
