Vivid Baseline Trackers: Invalid Mex-file tkTemplate​Match_Init​.dll: Invalid access to memory location

Hi,

I am quite new to matlab and would like to run the Vivid Baseline Trackers which are available here: http://vision.cse.psu.edu/data/vividEval/software.html (at the bottom)

When I run testTracker.m, I get the following error: Invalid MEX-file: 'tkTemplateMatch_Init.dll': Invalid access to memory location.

Dependency Walker shows that LIBMX.DLL and LIBMEX.DLL are not found.

Now my question: How do I determine the required library versions and how do I get these? (I have Matlab 2014a 32Bit, student version)

The provider of the code does not seem to offer any Matlab Runtime files for download.

Thanks

Update: Added matlab\bin\win32 to path and dependency walker does not show any errors anymore, but the error in matlab persists.

alright those trackers run fine with Matlab 2012a 32-Bit (Student).

I am getting a warning though: MEX-files with .dll extensions will not execute in a future version of MATLAB

It would be nice to get this message as error in Matlab 2013a onwards instead of the cryptic error message above...

I tried now several matlab runtime environments, but with no success: Would this old code even work if I would find the corresponding matlab runtime environment?
