standalone MATLAB executable question

Can a standalone MATLAB executable built with R2017A on one machine install and run on a different machine that has R2017B ?

[Nicolas B.]

that's not at all a problem. If you don't have the exact same MATLAB version with the compiler toolbox, than, you will have to install the required MATLAB Runtime. Than, it runs without using MATLAB itself, but the runtime.

Just a hint, checks that you are installing the latest MATLAB Runtime. The different versions really correct bugs (e.g. R2019a without Update was really buggy but works fine with Update 5).

[Walter Roberson]

You need the Runtime that corresponds exactly to the version used to create the executable.
