gui-to-.exe

how can we write a file path in matlab program so that .exe .can run in any system. how can we make window stand alone file with istallation package. i am using MATLAB Compiler and i have plan to run in on multiple platforms so that i can obtain executables for each corresponding platform.

Not sure if I am the only one, but I do not understand what the first problem is.

Try to use deploytool command. It is gui for deploying applications. It may later work on different computers if they will have installed MCR (I am not sure if it is right abbreviation). However this is available on Mathworks (and it is free).

When you create *.exe you can also add this part of software into instalation package

I used deploytool command. but the problem I couldn't run the exe in another computer with different version of MCR.

how can run it in all computer without having installed Matlab.

[Andreas Goser]

You can use the deploytool as well as using command line commands. As you like it.

"It may work". Exactly. I MAY work, but you shouldn't rely on that. I recommend creating the executables on the platform the are supposed to run on. Is there a problem with that beside the inconvenience of installing?

Yes, the MCR is needed on the computers without MATLAB installation. That is a reason, because I recommend installing un multiple platforms. Because you need to distribute the MCR in this installation to your project partners / customers. And to correct Pawel: The MCR is not exactly free. It is part of the installation when you purchase MATLAB Compiler. And then you can freely distribute it with your application. I think this is an important difference.

deploytool work with me and i created exe file and it works in the same computer which I have created in. but when I run the exe file in another computer it didn't work because there on the file 'mclmcrrt711.dll' which is for matlab R2009b.

Should I include 'mclmcrrt711.dll' with the figures an m-files in building.

[Andreas Goser]

No you shouldn't. Just distribute the executable with the MCR version of the same MATLAB release you created the executbale with.

I'd say many of those problems just occur when being too creative...

For the second part: "and i have plan to run in on multiple platforms so that i can obtain executables for each corresponding platform."

Depending on your license option (ask MathWorks for that in case you do not know), I recommend installing MATLAB and products on each of those platforms and create an executable for each platform.

Recent releases have some capabilities to create cross platform applications, but it is not complete.
