The MATLAB Runtime instance could not be initialized

hello

we are incorporating matlab .Net dlls in our application, and i'm getting exceptions at run time:

The MATLAB Runtime instance could not be initialized
    Error initializing MATLAB Runtime: Some error has occurred in the file: b:\matlab\standalone\mclbase\app_state.cpp, at line: 106.
     The error message is: 
    Failed to open mcljmiutils library

a few facts about the machine i'm having problem with:

1. the matlab dlls are compiled with Matlab 2016b (9.1)
2. the machine is installed with MCR2016b(9.1) and MCR2013b(8.2)
3. the MCR2016b is before MCR2013b in the PATH
4. the application uses .Net 4.5.2
5. all the application dlls are loaded via service locator
6. all of the Dlls are loaded in parallel

Hello @Liran Dobrish,

The error you are facing is most likely related with MATLAB Runtime (MCR), specifically related to ‘mcljmiutils’ library.

In some cases, similar errors have occurred due to MCR not being “Full MCR” or MCR version is not updated. Please refer to the following workarounds which might help you to resolve the issue

1. In case of MATLAB R2016b release, after downloading respective MCR version, make sure to update it. You can do so by clicking on the “update” button given in the row of R2016b in the link below.

https://www.mathworks.com/products/compiler/matlab-runtime.html

2. In MATLAB R2016b, generally MCR installed with it is smaller than Full MCR. MCR Downloaded from above website is Full MCR.

3. If the above listed solutions didn't work, try updating MATLAB, MCR and related tools to 2017a release or above and update the MCR as suggested above.
