Matlab2014b extract error during install

During install, I get the follwing error:

     The following error was detected while downloading 
     3p/antlr_common_1406353956.enc

I have the option to retry (same error) or quit.

I'd appreciate a fix!

I have the same Issues, except I am running on windows 7.

The following error was detected while downloading 3p/antlr_common_1406353956.enc: null Would you like to retry downloading 3p/antlr_common_1406353956.enc? If you press No, the installer will exit without completing the installation.

Today I encountered the same error during the installation of Matlab 2014b - on Win7 64bit. When it finally worked I had moved the downloaded installation file to a usb stick and deselected the creation of a desktop-link.

However I guess the first thing did the trick, as at some point the installer asked for the admin credentials and then started to download files into the dir where the installer was located ... on the USB stick the admin account of course was able to write, whereas on my usual account there might have been a problem. The file mentioned in the error message simply might be the first one to be downloaded and which can't be written.

If that's really the problem, Mathworks should improve the installer in this point and respond with an appropriate description of the error.

I tried these, but has not solved my installation problem. Installation fails due to 'extraction error-truncated zip entry: java/jar/mde.jar. Can any one please help?!

If you have an anti-virus program running you might need to turn it off during the download.

I got this error when I install R2015b.

The walk-around is to run the Installation Executable as root/admin user.

I did this by:

• Open a terminal window
• Type the command `sudo /path/to/InstallForMacOSX`

The InstallForMacOSX.app is essentially a directory which you can cd into. The actual executable is located at /InstallForMacOSX.app/Contents/MacOS/.

So you can just cd into this directory and then type `sudo $(pwd)/InstallForMacOSX`

After you input your password and hit return, you will launch the installation as root.

Don't forget to fix the ownership. You can do this by `sudo chown $USER:staff /Applications/MATLAB_R2015b.app/`

Actually I found a fix, I had previously installed matlab on another os (dual boot window), but the install files remained. I had to remove all the old matlab files before installing it, despite the fact that they were never installed on this version of windows.

Not sure where the default mac install path is, but if that may fix your problem.

[Bernhard]

Thanks for the quick response! This does not appear to be the problem in my case: I'd never installed Matlab on this Mac. Earlier reports indicated similar problems with particular versions of Java that were installed prior to installing Matlab.

I submitted this problem also to the Mathworks and received the following suggestions. Quote:

   1) Cancel the installation and remove the existing prerelease installation. Once the previous prerelease installation folder has been removed then you can start the installer again.

   2) There may be an issue with the target installation directory. You will want to try installing into a new directory that did not previously exist on the system.

   3) The files that you downloaded may be corrupt or incomplete. Delete all of the installation files on your system, and download your products again from your MathWorks Account.

   If this does not resolve this issue, your antivirus may be interferring with the installation. If you run any antivirus or security software, please disable and retry step 3. Please reply with any new error messages.

Suggestion (1) fixed the problem. I do not know what went wrong the first time. Matlab had never been installed on this computer before, so it can't be due to files left from a prior installation. Given that others seem to have the same problem with slightly different particulars, I agree that this appears to be an issue with the Mathworks installer that should be improved.

Sorry for not reporting back earlier.
