folder = uigetdir();
textLabel = sprintf('Your folder is %s', folder);
set(handleToYourTextLabel, 'String', textLabel);

Can you please tell me that when we deploy matlab gui using deploytool, then .exe we get is not able to add directory other than the one where we find our distributable files, why??

How can I add image directories anywhere on my system? please help!!

That's why I don't use deploytool.

I've even let them know I won't use deploytool until they let me create folders, during installation, at any location I want, such as under c:\users\public\document or wherever. Currently you can only create subfolders of your installation folder and nowhere else. I use a third party installer, Wise. It's now defunct but I still keep using it because it has a nice two-panel drag and drop capability (drag from your computer onto the target computer) that other installers like InstallShield don't have. I haven't found any modern installer that I like yet.

A workaround is to have a function when you start your app to look for the folder you want, and if it's not there, create it with mkdir() and copy/move any files you want from the app's folder to that folder that you just made.
