How to properly install Matlab 2011b on Win7 64bit

Hi every one I'm trying to install Matlab 2011b on my Windows 7-64bits. In every time the following error (or notification) is displayed at the end of the installation and the Matlab does not start properly:

1. The following products require a supported compiler: MATLAB Compiler 4.16 MATLAB Builder NE 4.1 MATLAB Builder JA 2.2.3 MATLAB Builder EX 2.1 Stateflow 7.8 Simulink Coder 8.1 xPC Target 5.1 MATLAB Coder 2.1

2. Simulink requires a C compiler for simulation acceleration, model reference, and MATLAB Function Block capabilities. It is recommended that you install a supported compiler on your machine.

3. To accelerate computations with the following products, a supported compiler is required: SimBiology 4.0 Fixed-Point Toolbox 3.4

4. After this installation is complete, you should continue with your configuration of the MATLAB Distributed Computing Server as outlined in the instructions obtained from www.mathworks.com/distconfig.

5. Run mbuild -setup from MATLAB before using MATLAB Compiler or builder products.

I checked the (archives) directory and all the required above are there. My Matlab 2010a is working fine, but I'm having troubles with the 2011b. What is the solution for the above problems? and Why the older versions of Matlab can be installed without any troubles?

Please, I need your help ASAP

Can you elaborate on, "Matlab does not start properly"? What exactly is the failure mode? The messages from the installer doesn't indicate a failure; there are just a few post-install things you'll want to do to fully configure your (very rich set of) products.

I mean that, the Matlab doesn't creat startup menu gicon group, doesn't put a shourtcut on the desktop, and doesn't link itself to the .m files. It behaves as if the Matlab is a prtable version except it is not

Mathworks offers free support on installation problems; you should contact them, especially as you are in a hurry.

Yes I'll try if i failed completely in solving this problem. Thank you for directing me.

I do not see any troubles. All the messages tell you, that you need 1. a supported compiler and 2. that you have to setup this compiler and the distributed computing server.

I suggest to follow these instructions. Install e.g. MSVC 2010 and the SDK 7.1, run "mex -setup " and "mbuild -setup". Then setup the distributed computing server.

[Ahmed]

I've installed SDK 7.1 (GRMSDKX_EN_DVD 570 MB) and now I'm downloading (MSVC 2010 Express 693 MB) and I'll install it and I'll let you know what is the results.

Simon,

I've installed both MSVC 2010 and SDK 7.1.

After "mex -setup" i get the message

"Welcome to mex -setup. This utility will help you set up

a default compiler. For a list of supported compilers, see

http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2011b/win64.html

Please choose your compiler for building MEX-files:

Would you like mex to locate installed compilers [y]/n? y

Select a compiler:

[1] Microsoft Software Development Kit (SDK) 7.1 in C:\Program Files (x86)\Micro

soft Visual Studio 10.0

[2] Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual

Studio 10.0

[0] None"

which one should i select?

and next for the "mbuild -setup" i get the same message .Then which one should i opt ??

Please help me.

Thanks.

[Venkatasesha]

Even after selecting compilers , my matlab installation doesnt work.

Can you help me ?

Thanks

I've just intall SDK7.1 but it's not have any effect. So anyone can help me ? Than you very much. Jan Simon@: Do you have any result? I'm waiting for your comment. I searched on internet, but it have no any thing. I hope that you can share your way to intall this. Thank you.
