Installation Error - Task MATLAB R2015a Startup Accelerator does not exist

3 views (last 30 days)
I recently installed Windows 10 and have been unable to install MATLAB 2015a. I keep getting the following error:
The log file shows:
(Aug 28, 2015 17:15:36) Task MATLAB R2015a Startup Accelerator for C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2015a does not exist
(Aug 28, 2015 17:15:36) java.lang.NullPointerException

I have attached a sample of my log file showing the complete error. One thing to note (and I suspect it may be part of the problem) is that I used sysprep as shown here to relocate my Win10 user folder to a different partition. Can anyone comment on if this would produce this error or am I dealing with something else entirely?

The problem seems to have been a corrupt installation file. I tried redownloading the installation iso and it's now installing properly.
