Mr. Luong
I really appreciate your help. While this will solve my
problem I was hoping there would be a solution where I
could just give somebody a .exe file and they can run it
irrespective of what is already installed in those
computers. There are people in here who would be wary of
installing something in their computer.
Please let me know if there are any other solutions.

Unfortunately no. That's the way the MATLAB compiler works,
and there is no way to get around it.

Mr. Bruno
Thank you for your time. I really appreciate your help.
Since mcc outputs a .c file also, I was wondering if I
could compile it with another c compiler and create an
executable. Although I dont want to write in a different
language, I am open to using a different compiler.

It's not possible, because the way how MATLAB RUNs the
program at Runtime.
MATLAB does not really compile the program in binary machine
instructions (as the word "compile" would suggest). What it
does is it encrypts your *.m files and archive them in the
corresponding *.ctf files. There is very little of things
the exe file really does: it expands the *ctf files into
individual *.m files, then it calls the Matlab Component
Runtime (MCR) in order to runs it. The conclusion is the MCR
is strictly required to be installed on the deployed machine.

I really appreciate your time and effort in helping me
out. Your answers have always addressed my concern/querry.
So my understanding regarding the exe file creation so far:
1. the exe files created by mcc - m option requires an
MCRInstaller.exe to be run in the computer where my exe
files will be run
2. I am presuming the c file it generates while using the
mcc -mc option cannot be compiled into a binary format exe
file using another c-compiler
Am I right so far?
Further, the MCRInstaller.exe found in
MATLAB\R2007a\toolbox\compiler\deploy\win32 is 150MB in
size!! Am I looking at the right location? because I felt
the filesize was rather big for me to ask everybody in my
company to install in their computers.
If it is true then it will be very difficult for me to
send my exe file as a .zip package along with the
MCRInstaller.

Not so difficult to me, but nobody has the same kind of
problem. There are few more precautions in deployment
application such as Windows .NET framework, and Java. But
I'll not detailed about them.
