I want to install a toolbox provided by http://www.agnld.uni-potsdam.de/~marwan/toolbox/index.html

How to rectify this problem.

The error is most probably due to the fact that you do not have write privileges in the folder where the install script is does mkdir.

This is possible as you could have made matlab installation folders as read only. Changing this would resolve the issue. I would look at install.m and try and check the directory where it is using the mkdir command. You can confirm whether that directory is read only or not!

In addition to Chirag's suggestions, I would also recommend trying to start MATLAB as Administrator if you're using Windows 7. This could be a UAC issue.

From the referenced link:

"This toolbox needs Matlab 5.3 or newer because it uses commands that are not available in previous versions.

The toolbox is still under development. We cannot give any warranty for anything related with our programmes. Please send error messages or comments to our contact address."

-> When I read this, my concern is that the compability may not be tested for recent version (MATLAB 5.3. is from 1999).

They encourage contacting them

If I want to remove the "Read only option", Which folder in matlab installation folder I have to do ?

In matlab I have following folders

appdata, bin, etc, extern, help, ja, java, lib, licenses, notebook, resources, rtw, runtime, simulink, stateflow, sys, toolbox,uninstall

Which folder I need to disable readonly option?

or otherwise, in which folder the toolbox going to install?

[Chirag Gupta]

You need to search the install.m script to check where they install it! I would imagine it would be the toolbox folder
