Error using feval Server Creation Failed

I'm trying to connect Matlab to Aspen Hysys through actxserver:

Hysys=actxserver('Hysys.Application.V8.8');

when I ran this script with Windows 7 worked, but with the upgrade to Windows 10 it shows me the following error:

Error using feval

Server Creation Failed: Esecuzione del server non riuscito.

Error in actxserver (line 89)

h=feval(['COM.' convertedProgID], 'server', machinename, interface);

Error in Protocollo_completo (line 12)

Hysys=actxserver('Hysys.Application.V8.8');

I'm using Matlab R2018b. Any idea?

Hi Francesco,

I translated the error message to English and found it to be:

Error using feval

Server Creation Failed: Server execution failed

This error indicates that MATLAB is not able to connect to Aspen Hysys due to an issue on your system. It is a Windows-generated error rather than a MATLAB error.

The root cause of this error might be a corrupt installation of the MS Office Suite, antivirus software interfering with MS Office, or an issue with your Windows profile. To see more probable causes and troubleshooting steps, please visit this post by the MathWorks Support Team:
