Some Windows Vista users have reported a problem installing and running WarpPLS 1.0. The error message looks like this:
"WarpPLS_1_0.exe - Unable To Locate Component: This application has failed to start because mclmcrrt710.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
This seems to be a problem of incompatibility between the MATLAB Compiler Runtime and Windows Vista. The problem appears to occur in some computer configurations, but not all of them.
The solution below has worked so far for all users that contacted me with this problem:
- Check your "Program Files" directory, and make sure that you have this folder there: C:\Program Files\MATLAB\MATLAB Compiler Runtime\v710\runtime\win32.
- If yes (usually the case when this problem occurs), go to the Windows command prompt, and enter this:
set PATH=C:\Program Files\MATLAB\MATLAB Compiler Runtime\v710\runtime\win32;%PATH%
(See screen snapshot below).
- Then restart the computer, and try to run WarpPLS again.
- If only restarting the computer does not work; reinstall WarpPLS, and then try to run WarpPLS again.
