Valid MATLAB Runtime installer not found.

When trying to compile a stand alone ap in ap designer, it throws the error "Valid MATLAB Runtime installer not found". It prompts for MATLAB Runtime installer location. Here is what my IT guy installed:

At C:\Program Files\Matlab\

R2024b

MATLAB Compiler Runtime

MATLAB Runtime

The IT guy reported that he was unable to add paths to the ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES.

What do I need to do so that I can compile stand alone .exe applications?

[Walter Roberson]

Do you have MATLAB Compiler Toolbox ? MATLAB Compiler Runtime is not enough. (For compiling purposes, you should not need MATLAB Compiler Runtime.)

[Ken]

Yes, I have the compiler toolbox.

[Walter Roberson]

I suggest that you experiment with using

restoredefaultpath; rehash toolboxcache

The MATLAB Runtime installer is not the install folder of MATLAB Runtime, it should be the installer which can be downloaded from the following MATLAB command.

compiler.runtime.download

The installer would be downloaded at "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\MathWorks\MatlabRuntimeCache\MCRInstaller24.2\MATLAB_Runtime_R2024b_win64.zip" in case of R2024b Windows.

Ref: Document

The MATLAB Runtime installer is needed when you compile the mlapp and choose "Runtime included in package" option in Application Compiler App. If you choose "Runtime downloaded from web" option, you don't need to store MATLAB Runtime installer in your machine.
