I built a package using new 2013b version with both or either MyAppInstaller_web, MyAppInstaller_mcr version successfully but when I tried to install on other computers, it gave "Corrupt install agent" error. Any idea?

whether they're working today or not; it's US holiday.

Have you any news about your problem? I'm interrested because I had the same.
I compiled a standalone application from a personal GUI under OS Windows 7 and installation was not possible on other computers with the same message.

I've had this exact same error. Reinstalled MATLAB on a brand new machine, no luck. I will be contacting support about this issue.

Hi,
Just wanted to butt in. I had the same error too, and I got it working.
I packaged my .m code using a x64 bit Windows 7 and included the MCR to the output. However the packaged MCR didn't work, same error as explained above.
So I followed the "readme.txt" that was in the output, which showed:
" Type in the command
>> mcrinstaller
at MATLAB prompt. The MCRINSTALLER command displays the location of the MCR Installer. "
I used the MCR installer at that location (copied it across to target machine, x64 windows 7) and I was able to run the .exe file with no error.
I'm using MATLAB 2013b, so it worked on that occation.
HOWEVER
I have another target machine which is a x32 windows XP machine and I'm struggling to get the .exe working there... the above command only gives me a 64bit MCR and it looks like there isn't a x86 (32 bit) version that came with the MATLAB install.
So I downloaded the 32 bit windows version of MCR through the web, installed the MCR fine on the target machine. But I can't open the .exe file I compiled. The error message was
"<file_name>.exe is not a valid Win32 application".
Perhaps there is an incompatibility issue between 64 bit environment and 32 bit target systems? And I was told the MATLAB compiler output is cross platform. Maybe just a little kink for the Mathworks people to solve ASAP I hope :)

I just want to complete the Oliver's answer.
It is not possible to compile a 32-bit application from 64-bit MATLAB software. If you want to do that you must install 32-bit MATLAB software (it is possible to have both on the same computer) and then compile your complication with it.
Concerning the original error from Deng message:
- It seems that there is a bug in MATLAB compiler 5.0 (R2013b)
- Please apply the solution given here : http://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/983355
It's worked for me!

In the end, I was able to get it working using the old method stated in the readme.txt by downloading the mcr installer directly from http://www.mathworks.com/products/compiler/mcr/index.html.
I think the problem could be the firewall of my company which often removes something from executable file but I haven't confirmed it at home computer.
