Why does the PolySpace installer fail to detect the MATLAB products on Windows XP x64?

PolySpace Model Link SL and PolySpace Model Link TL products are not automatically installed as part of the PolySpace software installation on my Windows XP x64 machine. How do I install the PolySpace Model Link SL and PolySpace Model Link TL products on my machine?

Prior to R2008b, the PolySpace Model Link SL and PolySpace Model Link TL will not install automatically, and must be manually installed.

To manually install the software follow the steps below:

1) Navigate to the Data\Windows\Addin\Mathworks\polyspace\ directory on the PolySpace CD.

2) Copy of the files in that location to your C:\PolySpace\PolySpace_Common\PolySpaceModelLink\ directory.

3) Copy the file polyspacerc.m from the PolySpace CD directory above to the $MATLAB\toolbox\local\ folder (where $MATLAB is the installation folder for MATLAB on your machine.

4) Open the file $MATLAB\toolbox\local\matlabrc.m in a text editor.

5) At the bottom of the file add the following lines:

%% POLYSPACE CONFIGURATION
polyspacerc;
%% END OF POLYSPACE CONFIGURATION

You should now be able to access the PolySpace Model Link SL or PolySpace Model Link TL software.

If you have any issues with this configuration or if you are unable to access the PolySpace Model Link SL or PolySpace Model Link TL software after these steps, contact the Installation and Licensing support team here:
