MATLAB COM Builder

Packaging and Distributing the Component

Once you have successfully compiled your models and tested the COM object, you are ready to package the component for distribution to your end users.

Choose Component -> Package Component to create a self-extracting executable containing these files.

File	Purpose
_install.bat	Script run by the self-extracting executable
<componentname_projectversion>.dll	Compiled component
mglinstaller.exe	MATLAB math and graphics installer
mwcomutil.dll	COM Builder utility library
mwregsvr.exe	Executable that registers DLLs on target machines

The self-extracting executable is named <componentname>.exe.

Running the installer on a target machine performs these steps:

• mglinstaller installs the MATLAB C/C++ Math and Graphics libraries.

• Action: Add the <application>\bin\win32 directory that mglinstaller creates to your path. (<application> represents the deployed application's root directory, the directory where the deployed application resides on your system.)

• mwregsvr registers mwcomutil.dll and <componentname>_<projectversion>.dll.

You must repeat this distribution process on each target machine.
