Hi,
WHen I try to create an executable for a matlab scrip that was built with GUIDE, I get the following error:

"DOS commands may not be executed when the current directory is a UNC pathname."

What am I doing wrong?
Mike

You're trying to run MATLAB Compiler from a directory whose name is a UNC
path:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc227007%28PROT.13%29.aspx

A UNC path looks something like:

\\mynetwork\mymachine\mydir

MATLAB Compiler needs to execute system commands, and as the Note in the
reference page indicates this won't work if the current directory is a UNC
path.

http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/dos.html

Map the UNC path to a network drive and CD to that network drive, then try
compiling again. If you're not sure how to do this on your version of
Windows, search the Microsoft website for "map network drive" and the name
of the version of Windows you're using.

Thanks Steve, missed that. Sorted.
