I am no expert but this worked for me.

First I used SETPATH to set the path. If you click on THIS PC and then WINDOWS you will see your USER filename and under that you will see documents. I created a folder called MATLAB under DOCUMENTS and extracted the MFE file from the download folder and copied it into there. So then I 'SETPATH" in matlab commands to C:\Users\(your user filename)\Documents\Matlab\. This is so it can find the MFE file which as I said I copied and placed in this folder. You can put it anywhere.

Next just go into your folder where you have the MFE toolbox and just click on the file called MFE Toolbox.mltbx . It is brown with some arrow in it. Once you click on that, the matlab ADDON menu should come up saying Installation complete. It works for me after that. Do not try to use the matlab folder in there called 'Add setpath,' it seems to bug out. Hope that helps you.

Setting up the new MATLAB tool can seem tricky at first but with some patience I can beat the odds. In just some words, here's how I got it working:

I began by creating a folder called 'MATLAB' within my documents to store the extraction. Choosing a dedicated space helps files find each other. After extracting to this new folder, I used SETPATH to instruct MATLAB its location. With a simple path instruction, it became possible. On my first wager, success - the MFE toolbox appeared ready with one clean click.

Process may differ by your version/OS. By sweeping away confusion piece by piece, even technical hurdles can pay out in the end. Keep the faith, and don't be afraid to contact the useful resource.
