Installing an Executable file

Hello, I created a .exe file and packaged it with MCR to install on a PC that doesn't have Matlab. I used the Matlab Complier's deploytool to build and package the application.I go this error during installation: "This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor." The processor type of the traget PC is: "Intel® Core(M)2 Duo CPU T7300 @ 2.00GHz 777 MHz, 2.99 GB RAM Physiscal Address Extension" Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong in the settings part of the deploy tool. Thanks a lot! Sree

Which MATLAB are you using? Core2 Duo has been supported since 2007a. See http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-31J0W3/index.html?solution=1-31J0W3

Walter,

Thanks for your immediate reply. I am using 7.11.0.584 (R2010b). I'm thinking my processor is not supported. Is there an alternative solution for this?

I appreciate any help!

Thanks

Sree

It looks like it _should_ be supported:

The Core2 Duo *does* support SSE2, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE2

What kind of machine are you doing the compiling on? Is it possible that you built on a Windows 64 machine and the target is Windows 32? If so, please see http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/301181

I agree with Walter that you might be attempting to install a 64-bit compiled executable on a 32-bit machine. See http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-BUCWVU/index.html

I agree with Walter and Kaustubha. This is a message from Windows, not MATLAB.

Thank you everyone for your responses. I was using 64 bit Matlab to create .exe. Now I am not able to run the 64-bit as 32-bit to re-create the .exe. I was found the following steps: I couldn't find the .app file. Could someone help?

1. Select MATLAB .app file in the Finder by clicking on it (usually located in the Applications folder)

2. In the top left, choose File > Get Info.

3. Click the "Open in 32 Bit Mode" checkbox

4. Launch MATLAB by double-clicking the application.

Those instructions are for the Mac. I assume you are on Windows since you are referring to .exe files? There is no Finder, .app file or Applications folder on Windows.

On 64-bit Windows, 32-bit applications live in C:\Program Files (x86) and 64-bit applications live in C:\Program Files by default. You can look for them through Windows Explorer.

Hello Jason,

Thanks for the clarification, but I dod have Matlab folder under C:\Program Files. Does that mean I might not have installed 32-bit on this system at all?

Thanks

Sree

[Jason Ross]

Yes. Sounds like you are running a 64-bit application.

[Sree]

Is there no other way to make the executable work on a 32-bit other than the one you suggested?

[Jason Ross]

If you are referring to Kaustubha's suggestion, that's about it.

You could reinstall the host with a 64-bit OS. The chip is a 64-bit chip, so it would work that way, too:
