Why does COMTOOL or MXLTOOL with the MATLAB Builder for COM 1.1 (R14) or MATLAB Builder for Excel 1.2 (R14) return an error when I click the Help button in the New Project Dialog?

I am creating a project with either the MATLAB Builder for COM 1.1 (R14) or the MATLAB Builider for Excel 1.2 (R14) using either COMTOOL or MXLTOOL. When I select File->New Project and click on the Help button of the New Project dialog, the following error message appears in the command window:

 ??? Error using ==> cmptool>helpregister

 Too many input arguments.

 ??? Error while evaluating javax.swing.JButton ActionPerformedCallback.

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

This has been verified as a bug in both MATLAB Builder for COM 1.1 (R14) and MATLAB Builder for Excel 1.2 (R14).

There are currently no known workarounds. However, the only effect of clicking the Help button is that the error message appears.
