Error: Arduino IDE at folder 'arduino-1.8.1' is corrupt...

I've installed MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware after I tried
a = arduino()
I got the error messages
Arduino IDE at folder 'arduino-1.8.1' is corrupt. Open Add‑On Explorer to reinstall
MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware.
I've tried with both 2018a and 2018b. Could anyone please advice me on how to fix this?

Have you tried reinstalling the support package with administrator access? To do this right click on MATLAB icon and select Run as administrator.

Uninstall all suporting packages related to arduino. Uncheck the readonly and hidden attributes of ProgramData folder in C drive (this is were support packages gets installed). Then Run matlab as administrator. Install the hardware support packages and setup the hardware.

Well, its a pretty late reply. I am using the 2019.1 version and was struggling to install the Arduino support package for both Matlab and Simulink. Every time I received the same error saying unable to instal third party software i.e., Arduino ide. It probably has to to do something with the admin privilege. The following steps work for Matlab support (yet to check for simulink-no license)
  1. Install Matlab support for Arduino..it will probably go smoothly without any error!
  2. But when you try to create an Arduino object, an error saying Arduino IDE is corrupt will show up
  3. To fix this you can simply paste the arduino- 1.8.10 folder(unzipped) into your Matlab root directory....(C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2019b\bin\win64) folder
  4. This makes the arduino library available to Matlab
  5. Best to download the Arduino IDE from the Arduino website https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/OldSoftwareReleases
  6. I have seen the same error while installation for Simulink support. So, this same method should work for Simulink too
  7. I will try that later and post
  8. Lastly, Mathworks support seems totally clueless about this issue. It may be a admin priviledge issue but this simple solution could have been saved me several days
