pop out the vcrt_check just after finish the install

after installing the matlab2010b, it will pop out the VCRT_CHECK.exe. I have no idea what is happening..

This is not a comprehensible description of what happens. Do you install Matlab on a Windows 8 computer, which has a newer MSVC runtime lib installed? Then uninstalling these "distributables" temporarily might help.

Hello Yang,

The "VCRT_CHECK.exe" is related to the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, which is a necessary component for running applications developed with Visual C++. MATLAB relies on these redistributables for certain functionalities. When the "VCRT_CHECK.exe" pop up is seen, it typically indicates that MATLAB is checking for or attempting to install the required Visual C++ Redistributable components.

Here are steps to resolve this issue:

1. Allow the Process to Complete: First, allow "VCRT_CHECK.exe" to complete its process. It may be installing or verifying the Visual C++ Redistributable components required by MATLAB. This may take a few minutes.
2. Manually Install the Visual C++ Redistributable: If the process does not complete or you encounter errors, you can manually install the necessary Visual C++ Redistributable packages. Consider checking out the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable download page and download the appropriate version for Visual Studio 2010. Complete the installation by following the on-screen instructions.
3. Reboot Computer: After installing the Visual C++ Redistributable, reboot the computer to ensure all changes take effect.
4. Run MATLAB Again: After rebooting, try running MATLAB again to see if the issue is resolved.
5. Check for Compatibility: Ensure that MATLAB R2010b is compatible with the operating system. MATLAB R2010b is quite old and may not be fully compatible with newer versions of Windows. Check the MathWorks system requirements for MATLAB R2010b to ensure compatibility.
6. Run MATLAB as Administrator: Running MATLAB with administrative privileges can sometimes resolve issues related to permissions and installations.
7. Check for Errors: If "VCRT_CHECK.exe" continues to pop up or errors are encountered, check the logs for more information. First, open "Event Viewer" by typing "eventvwr" in the Run dialog (Win+R); Look for errors or warnings related to "VCRT_CHECK.exe" or MATLAB in the Windows Logs > Application section. Second, check the MATLAB installation logs, typically located in the installation directory or in the "%TEMP%" directory (which can be accessed by typing the same in Run dialog).

Hope this helps!
