I am unable to install R2012a on OS X Yosemite. After Doubleklicking the "InstallForMacOSX"-file a MATLAB launcher window appears and then after some seconds it disappears. Nothing else happens. How can I install MATLAB 2012a on Yosemite?! those hints regarding the Java patch did not work, thats why I deleted MATLAB in order to re-install it. Thought this would help, now I can not even install it any more..
This is part of the installation try:
"Preparing installation files ... Installing ... Exception in thread "main" com.google.inject.ProvisionException: Guice provision errors:
1) Error in custom provider, java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at com.mathworks.wizard.WizardModule.provideDisplayProperties(WizardModule.java:60) [...]"
I hope you can help me

I was struggling with the same issue for a while until I solved it by following the instructions below:
From the Finder's menubar, select "Go > Applications" to open the Applications folder (or open the folder that contains your copy of MATLAB). Select File > New Folder to create a new folder (it will be named "untitled folder"). Drag your copy of MATLAB into "untitled folder" Drag your copy of MATLAB back to its original location. Move "untitled folder" to the Trash.
Hope this would help.

So what you're saying is that you called the Mathworks, and after having them work on it for 3 full months, they were unable to solve it for you. Surprising. I wonder how all those other people are using it on Yosemite then. If the Mathworks is really baffled and just threw up their hands and gave up, then it looks like your only option is to get a new version of MATLAB then. Ndilokelwa, is it the same problem with you, that the Mathworks is just totally unable to get it working for you?

The response on the following link helped me fix my problem after upgrading to Yosemite. Maybe it can help you sort out your problem as well.

Did you reboot or log out and log back in? You have to exit and reenter your login session for Xquartz to be found after you install it.

R2012a is not supported for Yosemite or El Capitan.
However, I have personally installed it on El Capitan so I am certain that it does work. I just followed the installation instructions that showed up when I requested the installer.

Keenan Eure - have you checked the solution link which I posted at the top? I can't help any longer on this since I am now running the newest MATLAB and OS X El Capitan
