Error when using webcam support package

Hi,

on a new installation of MATLAB R2014a I installed the USB Webcam support package. When I enter

webcamlist

in the command window I get the following error message:

Invalid MEX-file 'C:\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2014a\webcam\webcammex.mexw64': The specified module could not be found.

Error in matlab.webcam.internal.Utility.enumerateWebcams (line 21)

Error in webcamlist (line 25)
[success, camList] = matlab.webcam.internal.Utility.enumerateWebcams;

The only advice I found on these types of errors was to install the redistributable packages of Visual C++. Thus I installed the following packages:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (Update 4)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (SP1)

However, the error is still raised. Is there anything else that I can try?

Cheers, Thomas

I am using R2014a on Windows XP and have the exact same behavior:

cam = webcamlist

Invalid MEX-file 'C:\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2014a\webcam\webcammex.mexw32': The specified module could not be found.

Error in matlab.webcam.internal.Utility.enumerateWebcams (line 21)

Error in webcamlist (line 25) [success, camList] = matlab.webcam.internal.Utility.enumerateWebcams;

I have the same error on Windows XP with R2014a.

[Sean de Wolski]

Did you install the hardware support package with admin privileges?

I have the same problem with R2014a installed on windows XP. Did you find a solution?

I have also the same error with R2014b and I don't find any solution.

I also experienced that problem, but after I install different choice of driver (I choose: OS Generic Video Interface) it works fine.
