Popup an image before matlab runtime runs

Hello all. I have a quick question.

When I write my matlab script and compile it using matlab compiler.

When I try to run a complied .exe file, it takes a few seconds to run. I searched that is because waiting for matlab runtime is run.

But, some programs complied by matlab popup an image AT ONCE as .exefile run. It writes "Please wait for OO program is run..." and then it will closed as OO program runs.

How can I do that? Is that command written out of code? It takes a few seconds to start my command in code. But, how they pop-up an image imediately?

Thank you.

In the compiler there should be an option for adding a splash screen image

If i'm not mistaken thats what it's for

I'm not seeing it. Where exactly does it say that you can popup a splash screen when you're launching the installed executable (as opposed to launching the installation program)?

when I changed the custom splash screen it worked

Well ok, if it does it, then it does it. Honestly I don't use deploytool because of some major limitations, like not being able to specify where your files go.

As far as I know and last heard, this is not possible. See the Mathworks post on the question from 2013:

If i'm not mistaken, starting 2014a it is possible

also, I just tried and it displays the image first thing upon startup.
