Windows Stand Alone Application from GUI.

Hi all,

I have created a Matlab GUI and a few associated function m-files. I am trying to deploy the project as a stand alone application but I am getting an error. I am using Matlab R2008a. This is how I created the Windows Standalone Application (WSA).

1) I type in 'mbuild -setup' in the command prompt and follow instructions as shown below:

>> mbuild -setup
Please choose your compiler for building standalone MATLAB applications: 

Would you like mbuild to locate installed compilers [y]/n? y

Select a compiler: 
[1] Lcc-win32 C 2.4.1 in C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2008a\sys\lcc 

[0] None 

Compiler: 1

Please verify your choices: 

Compiler: Lcc-win32 C 2.4.1 
Location: C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2008a\sys\lcc 

Are these correct [y]/n? y

Trying to update options file: C:\Documents and Settings\ProductionProgrammer\Application Data\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2008a\compopts.bat 
From template:              C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2008a\bin\win32\mbuildopts\lcccompp.bat 

Done . . . 

>>

2) Select >File>New>Deployment Project>Windows Standalone Application 

3) I select and drag my main m-file code into 'Main function'. For 'Other files', I selected all the .fig file and all the m-files files which do the calculations. 

4) Click on the 'Build the project button'. It takes a few minutes to output the following error to the deploy tool output:

There were errors during compilation process.

I will appreciate if some one can tell me the correct procedure to build WSA and resolve this

I am using Matlab R2008a.

Thanks.

Is C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2008a\bin present on your Windows PATH environment variable? This is where the file mbuild.bat should be present, and it looks like Windows can't find it.
