Why my Windows Standalone Application doesn't work out as its original file?

Hello,

I've created an executable file from a .m file using the Deployment Tool, but the generated file doesn't work properly. It doesn't do the same thing as the .m file running directly from Matlab. I just want it to open a Simulink file (.mdl or .slx). Here follows the code:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

global ModelName

[filename, pathname] = uigetfile({'*.slx;*.mdl', 'Modelo (*.mdl, *.slx)'});

[pathstr, name, ext] = fileparts(filename);

modelo = strcat(pathname,filename);

open_system(modelo);

ModelName = name;

set_param(ModelName,'BlockReduction','off');

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Why this happens? Does anybody know what I can do?

Thanks!

open_system is an unsupported function which cannot be compiled. A list of supported/unsupported functions with various toolboxes can be found here:

open_system is listed here:

Simulink in general is not supported with MATLAB Compiler. You need to use Simulink Coder to generate standalone code from Simulink models in order to deploy them.

Actually, I wanted a GUI standalone that communicates with Simulink models. Is it possible with the Simulink Coder?! From what I've read, the Simulink Coder generates code from a Simulink model or Matlab functions. Does the Simulink Coder support a GUI code? My GUI purpose is to open a Simulink model and get data from it through listeners. Could you help me with that?

Does it run at all? Did you try the things on the FAQ: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#My_standalone_executable_won.27t_run_on_the_target_computer._What_can_I_try.3F

[Vinicius]

Yes, it does. It's the executable that doesn't. I mean, the executable search for the file (uigetfile works), but it doesn't open the Simulink Model (which is the open_system job).

So it launches, it just doesn't do what you expect. Well I don't have Simulink (which I just added to the product list tag) so I can't help further.

[Vinicius]

Ok. Thanks anyway.
