When using MATLAB's "loadlibrary" function, I get the following error:
>> loadlibrary('example.dll', 'example.h');
There was an error loading the library "example.dll"
The specified module could not be found.
How do I resolve this issue?

This error can occur on Windows platforms when MATLAB successfully locates and compiles the header file but fails to locate the DLL file. One possible solution is to specify the absolute path to the DLL file so that MATLAB does not need to search for it:
>> loadlibrary('C:\Users\user\example\example.dll', 'example.h');
