Why does MATLAB 7.5 (R2007b) fail to start as an ActiveX / COM Server or show an error?
Show older comments
I am trying to use MATLAB 7.5 (R2007b) from another program. I do this through the automation server interface or through the MATLAB Engine. Both use ActiveX and I receive the following error:
Can't start MATLAB engine

This problem can be related to the wrong MATLAB version or no MATLAB version at all being registered as the default Automation Server. To work around this issue, re-register MATLAB as an automation server by executing the following command from the MATLAB Command Window:
!matlab -regserver

Hi Alex
I understand you have a question on registering MATLAB as an automation server.
Please refer to the documentation link below that discusses about Registering MATLAb as an automation server using "matlab -regserver".
Alternatively you could use "regmatlabserver" command to register MATLAb as an Automation server from within MATLAB.
Feel free to MathWorks Technical Support in case of further questions.
Thanks
Usha
