The documentation for MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b) has been updated to incorporate the relevant information. For previous product releases, read below:

Documentation on the MCRInstaller.bin command-line options is missing from the MATLAB Compiler documentation.

To list the command-line options for MCRInstaller.bin, execute the following command at your system prompt:

MCRInstaller.bin -is:help

As of MATLAB Compiler 4.6 (R2007a), these options are:

Usage : MCRInstaller.bin [OPTIONS] [APPLICATION_ARGUMENTS]
  
Where OPTIONS include:
     
   -is:javahome <dir>  JRE home which points to directory containing bin/java.
   -is:tempdir <dir>   Temporary directory to be used by the launcher.
   -cp:a <classpath>   Append <classpath> to the launcher's classpath.
   -cp:p <classpath>   Prepend <classpath> to the launcher's classpath.
   -is:log <filename>  Log debug messages to <file>.
   -is:extract         Extracts the contents of the archive.
   -is:nospacecheck    Turns off the launcher disk space checking. 
   -is:version         Returns launcher version and exits.
   -is:help            Prints this help message and exits

This installer also supports the use of the following switches:

-console Run in console (text) mode
-silent Do no display any status messages
-options <file> Use answers from the <file> for install questions
-options-record Use this to record options from an interactive install session to a text file for future use with the -options flag.

For example, to re-use an options file "opts.txt" created during previous installation using the '-option-record' switch, run:

./MCRInstaller.bin -console -silent -options opts.txt
