Have you downloaded and run the dependency walker?

AHA! Now we're finally getting someplace!

Apparently, IESHIMS.DLL and MSVCR80.DLL are both missing. The specific error within that tool is: "Error opening file. The system cannot find the file specified (2)." Same exact error text for both.

Big Caveat -- I'm a UNIX programmer by training and experience. This Windows DLL junk is totally new/foreign to me. Can I just download DLLs from someplace and then copy them into a directory? Or, is there some sort of Naming or Locator Service I need to register them with so they will be found on a directory/lookup call? Or, is there a tool one usually uses to grab them and install them? (i.e. like hopefully from Microsoft, so it doesn't have a billion viruses?)


Thanks again!
Jim

I've tried every link on this page and none of them resolve the problem: http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-3LSMPR/index.html?solution=1-3LSMPR

To be pedantically specific: none of those files installs a MSVCR80.DLL file anywhere on the entire machine.

I'm not sure how they're supposed to work or what it is they're trying to do, but that file still does not exist after running all of those links.

Then I think you've gotten to the point where you should be working with
Technical Support to determine the reason those DLLs are missing/not being
installed correctly. Use the Contact Us link at the top of
http://www.mathworks.com.

Ummm, I don't know, I'm a UNIX programmer/admin by training and experience too!

If you do manage to find copies of the DLL's, then the following workaround
might be useful for you:
