The Mathworks File Exchange does not allow .exe or .dll files to be included in submissions. But sometimes a submission requires compiled external libraries. This submission enables seamless downloading and installation of forbidden files through a zip file hosted through Google Sites.
By default it will unpack a 2MB zip file containing a converter for turning IDTF files into U3D files (useful for making 3D pdf figures from meshes).
Syntax:
installGoogleArchive(downloadLocation, zipFile)
