From: Emily Hinz on
When I installed R2010a via the internet download method, my install always crashes at 92% done. I have Vista 64 with an ATI Radeon HD 4600 graphics card.

The result is that I can open and use matlab, but I have to type restoredefaultpath;matlabrc at the beginning of each session. Also, none of the matlab file extensions are associated with the program.

Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this?

The full error I get at the start of each session is:

Warning: C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2010a\toolbox\local\pathdef.m not found.
Toolbox Path Cache is not being used. Type 'help toolbox_path_cache' for more info
Undefined function or variable 'ispc'.
Warning: MATLAB did not appear to successfully set the search path. To avoid this
warning the next time you start MATLAB, use
http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/pathdef.shtml
to help troubleshoot the "pathdef.m" file. To recover for this session
of MATLAB, type "restoredefaultpath;matlabrc".
Warning: Duplicate directory name: C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2010a\toolbox\local.
Warning: Initializing Handle Graphics failed in matlabrc.
This indicates a potentially serious problem in your MATLAB setup,
which should be resolved as soon as possible. Error detected was:
MATLAB:UndefinedFunction
Undefined function or method 'colordef' for input arguments of type 'double'.
> In matlabrc at 102
Warning: Initializing Java preferences failed in matlabrc.
