DEPLOYMENT ERROR

Hi.

I am trying to create excel dll using Matlab Builder EX. I get an error "Error: An error occurred while shelling out to mbuild (error code = 255). Unable to build executable". Creating .exe file is no problem. I would appriceate any help. I have to finish this asap.

Answer 1

[Friedrich]

Hi,

Walter is right. You need admin privilges in order to be able to register this COM DLL. This is needed in order to be able to call this DLL from Excel.

What did you change to get error code = 2 instead of error code = 255?

Answer 2

[Friedrich]

I think when you take a look at the log file you will find the entry:

$MATLABROOT\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: The chosen compiler does not support building COM objects. Please see the MATLAB Builder documentation for the latest list of supported compilers.

So I think you choose the LCC as compiler, who is not able to compile COM object. Please use a different supported compiler. Which one is supported and able to compile COM object can be obtained on the MathWorks homepage under

http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/previous_releases.html

I hope I could help,

Friedrich

[EDIT: 20110524 02:21 CDT - reformat, clarify - WDR]

It looks like I am using the right compiler with my version of MATLAB (R2010a) for building excel dll. I also checked this on website. Bellow is the answer I get. Do you have any other suggestions?
