Matlab Compiler Shared Resources and Helper Files Issue

I am having an issue with my executable with finding a .pptx file as a shared resource.

I have included it inside the executable but it cannot find the file once the executable is deployed but can find another file which is a .jpg and is looked for in a similar way.

Does anybody have an idea of why it cannot find a .pptx file but can find a .jpg?

Thanks,

Kevin

1) Could you specify how you added the file? Did you add it to Additional Files section in deploytool or use the mcc -a flag?

2) How are you looking for it in your deployed application?

I used the deploytool to add the file.

I am calling it by searching within the executable's "working directory":

base_dir = cd;

copyfile([base_dir '\BaseM9.pptx'], filename);

See this entry on the FAQ: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#My_standalone_executable_won.27t_run_on_the_target_computer._What_can_I_try.3F, particularly point #7 there. I'm pretty sure that's the cause of your problem.

This was indeed what it was. Thanks for the help on a non-intuitive problem!
