various mex file problems

Hi,

I'm using M2012a and there are at least two commands that don't seem to work. First, it's 'ver' or 'version' giving me

Invalid MEX-file 'C:\Windows\system32\ver.dll': C:\Windows\system32\ver.dll is not a valid Win32 application

and then it is 'ftstool' saying:

Mex file entry point is missing. Please check the (case-sensitive) spelling of mexFunction (for C MEX-files), or the (case-insensitive) spelling of MEXFUNCTION (for FORTRAN MEX-files).

after I choose Yahoo finance to be connected to.

Am I doing something wrong? M2011b works fine on the same computer.

Is MATLAB starting in C:\Windows\system32 by any chance? See Why do I get an error about an Invalid MEX-file ver.dll when running the ver command on a Windows machine? for the related Technical Solution. If this is not the issue, I would recommend contacting MathWorks Support.

Thanks, that's just it!
