Documentation

You can deploy a compiled standalone application to a network drive so that it can be accessed by all network users without having them install the MATLAB^® Runtime on their individual machines.

Note:   There is no need to perform these steps on a Linux® system. There is no requirement for vcredist on Linux, and the component registration is in support of MATLAB Compiler™ for Excel® add-ins and COM components, which both run on Windows® only. Distributing to a Linux network file system is exactly the same as distributing to a local file system. You only need to set up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or use scripts which points to the MATLAB Runtime installation.

1. On any Windows machine, run mcrinstaller function to obtain name of the MATLAB Runtime installer executable.

2. Copy the entire MATLAB Runtime folder onto a network drive.

3. Copy the compiled application into a separate folder in the network drive and add the path <mcr_root>\<ver>\runtime\<arch> to all client machines. All network users can then execute the application.

4. Run vcredist_x86.exe on for 32-bit clients; run vcredist_x64.exe for 64-bit clients.

5. If you are using for Excel add-ins, register mwcomutil.dll and mwcommgr.dll on every client machine.

   If you are using .NET assemblies to create COM objects, register mwcomutil.dll on every client machine.

   To register the DLLs, at the DOS prompt enter

   mwregsvr <fully_qualified_pathname\dllname.dll>
   

   These DLLs are located in <mcr_root>\<ver>\runtime\<arch>.

   Note:   These libraries are automatically registered on the machine on which the installer was run.
