"Could not find version 7.17 of the MCR" error while running Matlab2013b with DKE, even after downloading Compiler 7.17 and 8.2

Hello,

I am having some difficulty resolving this "could not find version 7.17" error. I've made sure I downloaded the correct version for my Matlab 2013b (Compiler 8.2), but when I run DKE (https://www.nitrc.org/projects/dke/), it still says "Could not find version 7.17 of the MCR". I tried installing 7.17 just to see if it would change anything, but no luck. If anyone could provide some pointers, I would really appreciate it!

Hi Cristina,

To fix the "Could not find version 7.17 of the MCR" error when running DKE with MATLAB 2013b, follow these steps:

• Confirm DKE is compatible with MATLAB 2013b. DKE might require a different MATLAB version.
• MCR 7.17 suggests DKE was compiled with a MATLAB version different from 2013b, as MCR versions are tied to the MATLAB Compiler version, not the MATLAB release itself. Ensure you've installed the correct MCR version as per DKE's requirements.
• Download and install MCR 7.17 from the official source, following all installation steps.
• If necessary, adjust your system's environment variables to ensure DKE can locate the MCR.
• If the issue persists, the version mismatch between DKE's requirements and MATLAB 2013b might be the root cause. Using a MATLAB version that aligns with DKE's compiled version may be required.

mcr 7.17 corresponds to r2012a
