Matlab application builder installer mcr exe file not a valid win32 application

I created the mcr application file using application builder, and when someone else was trying to install it, there's an error message: " mcr.exe is not a valid Win32 application." What could cause the problem? Both use Windows 7 operation system.

Thanks.

That would happen if you built it under 64 bit MATLAB but they install on 32 bit windows.

Also it could happen if a dependency is missing such as a MS run time library redistributable

Walter, Thank you so much for the answer. For the missing of MS run time library redistributable, do you mean when I include the files building the application, or the other's computer doesn't have it installed. Where to download this run time library? Thanks. Tina
