Toolbox installation failed, can't repair

symbolic math toolbox installed OK. Installed optimization toolbox, which completed normally. The toolbox is not visible in the add-in manager, although re-running the installer fails saying it's already installed. It's not in the add-in manager, so I can't delete it to enable a re-install.

How do I fix the installation?

Hi Barry,

From what I understand, you've installed the Optimization Toolbox using the MATLAB installer, but you don't see it in the Add-On Manager. When running the MATLAB installer again, it tells you that this toolbox is already successfully installed. You would like to re-install this toolbox, but don't see any option to uninstall it first.

To uninstall this toolbox, run the MATLAB uninstaller. It will display a list of MathWorks products available for uninstallation. Select "Optimization Toolbox" from this list and proceed with the uninstallation.

Refer to this documentation for more details on uninstalling MathWorks products:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2021b/install/ug/uninstall-mathworks-products.html

After this is done, you can re-install the toolbox using the Add-On Manager.

Hope this helps!
