Matlab Compiler

> I'm trying to make my program as a stand-alone executable using the Matlab Compiler. I realize that any PC I use to run the file must have the MCR installed on it. When i click "Add MCR" when building the project, it adds a file called MCRInstaller.exe, but i cant find it in the project folder once the build is complete. What am i doing wrong? How can i install this file on other computers if i cant find it?
As I recall, the package .exe contains both MCR.exe (because you chose to add it) and the application .exe . When you execute the package .exe, it will unpack both of these.

When I deploy the compiler, I place my program as the "main file" in the build tab. Then in the package tab, i say "Add MCR". once the build is complete, a folder is created with the name of my program. Inside that folder, there are two folders. One is called "distrb" which has a readme file and the .exe file for my program. The other folder is called "src" and contains another .exe file for my program, two .txt files and three C Source files. There is no other .exe file. I'm guessing i'm doing something wrong.

How big is the .exe in distrib and what happens when you execute it?

After you run the build, you need to run a packaging step, as explained here

Either use the menu option Tools > Package or use the package icon. The packaging step will create a self-extracting executable containing the MCR.

Yea thats what i was doing wrong. I went back and looked up some demo's again...i missed the packaging part last time i watched the demo. Thanks anyway.
