From: Ilias on
Although i had installed and used matlab 2006 on Windows Vista properly, after upgrading my pc on windows 7 I could not run the programme ( "Error starting Desktop" is the message I take).
I tried to unistall it but the process also failed...I kept receiving the message "Exeption Calling Main" without being asked to do any action at all.
Also tried to overwrite matlab 2006 on the existing file..same result.

Any help would be very appreciated
