MATLEB.exe - Entry Point Not Found Error Message when Starting MATLAB

I get the following error message when trying to start MATLAB : "MATLAB.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point CacelIoEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll." I am running Windows XP Professional and I have re-installed MATLAB and rebooted my computer. I have also checked the Path and it seems to be correct.

You can find explanations in the internet, if you ask your favorite internet search engine for the appearing terms. E.g. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363792%28v=vs.85%29.aspx :

The function CacelIoEx is supported since Windows Vista. This means, that your Matlab version will not run under WindowsXP. Which Matlab version do you try to install?

See e.g. the requirements for R2015b: http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/current_release/index.html?sec=windows : Win7 SP1 or higher...

Thank you. I did do an internet search on CancelIoEx and saw that it was not available in Windows XP, but I was hoping that there was a work-around to install the 32 bit version.

Again: Which Matlab version do you try to install?
