problem in install add on m.file for solidworks simmechanics link

hi all i need to install add on m.file for solidworks simmechanics link , but when i donwloaded the m.file , for matlab r2013 w64 it came with the error in the first lines after checking java , there is another line for checking nargin , the arguments and say :

% check args
if (nargin ~= 1)
    error('Usage: install_addon <addon_zip_file>')
end

and for this part the matlab gives me the error :

Error using install_addon (line 15)
Usage: install_addon <addon_zip_file>

what's the problem ?

The message tells you, that the function install_addon was called with either none or more than one input argument. Please post the complete error message, which should contain the calling command also.

A bold guess is, that you have a space in the path of the ZIP file, then try:

install_addon('<addon_zip_file>')

with the parts inside > and < replaced accordingly.

this is the error i get

Error using install_addon (line 15)
Usage: install_addon <addon_zip_file>

Error in run (line 64)
evalin('caller', [script ';']);

Show the EXACT, FULL command you typed that caused that error to display. Jan and I think you typed this:

 install_addon

or something like this, where "c:\temp\path with spaces\addon_zip_file.zip" is the location of the ZIP file and that location contains spaces.

 install_addon c:\temp\path with spaces\addon_zip_file.zip
