Matlab compiler question on Windows system

I'd received a package with the MCRInstaller and corresponding exeutable file compiled on Windows 32 bit system. But this does not seem to work on my Win 64 bit desktop. Is there a workaround ?

AFAIK, 32-bit compiled applications should run fine on 64-bit machines. Could you elaborate on what you mean by "this does not seem to work" - are you seeing an error message? If yes, please paste the exact text. Also, I would recommend running the application from a command window (insteading of double-clicking the icon) because error messages are often displayed on the shell window.

Yes. That's what I do. Alternatively you can use ! followed by the executable name in the MATLAB command window, like

>> !my_app.exe

Be sure your current folder is folder where the exe lives. Then the error messages will spew to the command window. Of course this is when you're testing the app on the same computer as the development machine, not on the target machine.

Be sure to read the FAQ for things to try.

Please ask the provider of the package to provide you a 64 bit application. Maybe others here can describe to you how you can make the 32 Bit application run on your machine, but you would not be able to benefit from your 64 Bit system.

There are many reasons why a compiled app won't run on a target computer. Several of those are listed in the FAQ: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#My_standalone_executable_won.27t_run_on_the_target_computer._What_can_I_try.3F The solution to your problem is probably handled by one of those.
