[TRNSYS-users] Type155 with different versions of Matlab

[David BRADLEY]

Thibault,

  All of Simon's comments are relevant. Two other important notes

- make sure that your user account and the built-in SYSTEM account both 
have administrator access on the computer.

- make sure that the path to Matlab's bin\win32 directory in the Windows 
environment path is the /only /reference to Matlab that appears in the 
path. Sometimes users have found problems if both Matlab 64-bit and 
Matlab 32-bit are referenced in the path.

kind regards,

  David
