How do I kill a windows crash message and the crashed .exe to continue my script?

Hello,

I am running a compiled executable from Matlab. The executable is quite buggy (I don't have the code to recompile it) but works 90% of the time. When it crashes, it opens a window indicating that an error occurred when running process.exe. My options are to close or debug (the debug button opens visual studio).

The crash is random, reproducible over a large number of runs, but not predictable.

I usually run process.exe in a loop overnight, thus it is not ideal for the loop to pause until I click 'close' in the error window.

If I run the process in parallel, matlab kills the process in the background and the window never appears. Unfortunately, I cannot always run it in parallel.

I have read a number of other question/answers on this subject but cannot seem to get any of the solutions to work.

OS = Windows 10 Matlab 2016a

I have tried the following:

comnd='process.exe';

try
    system(comnd);
catch
    warning('process.exe crashed. Retry.');
    dos('taskkill /F /IM process.exe');
    dos('taskkill /F /IM C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WerFault.exe');
    !taskkill -f -im process.exe
    !taskkill -f -im WerFault.exe
end

None of the commands in the catch seem to be seen by Matlab. Should I be calling my process with eval() instead of system()? I appreciate any suggestions you may have.

Thank you,

Sarah
