Netcdf library failure for stand alone application

Hi, I have a routine to convert a text file into netcdf that works fine when I launch it with Matlab. But when I use a standalone version I get the message:

Error using netcdflib
The NetCDF library encountered an error during execution of 'create' function - 'Can't add HDF5 file metadat (NC_EFILEMETA)'.

Error in netcdf.creat (line 59)

MATLAB:imagesci:netcdf:libraryFailure

I assume a library's missing in my exe but how can I ask the deploytool to add it? And then why isn't there anything listed in the mccExcludedFile.log?

Remember that the current directory of a stand-alone executable will not be the directory that the user started the .exe from. If you did not specify a specific directory when creating the netcdf file then you would not be certain that you have write access to whatever directory you happen to be in.

Even though that wasn't the problem, your answer actually helped. It made me realize the directory where I tried to create the netcdf file didn't exist and that's why it wouldn't work. I just assumed it would create the necessary path when trying to create the file. It's working if I first create the directory. Thank you.
