Using the C Math Library    

Problem Starting Stand-Alone Application

Your application may compile successfully but fail when you or one of your customers tries to start it. If you run the application from a DOS command window, you or one of your customers may see an error message such as:

To fix this problem, locate the files named dforrt.dll or dformd.dll in your Windows system directory and replace them with the versions of these files in the <MATLAB>\bin\win32 directory, where <MATLAB> represents the name of your MATLAB installation directory.

This same solution works for customers of your application who encounter the same problem; however, they can replace the versions of these files in the Windows system directory with the versions they find in <MGLRUNTIMELIBRARY>\bin\win32 directory, where <MGLRUNTIMELIBRARY> is the name of the directory in which they installed the MATLAB Math and Graphics Run-Time Libraries. See Distributing Stand-Alone Applications for more information.
