SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a folder permission error encountered while using the "deploytool" feature in MATLAB R2015a on Windows 10. The user is unable to determine which folder MATLAB is referencing as unwritable, despite the MATLAB program files folder being writable. The error suggests that MATLAB attempts to create a .prj file in a location that lacks the necessary permissions, leading to deployment failures. Resolving this issue requires identifying and changing the current folder to a writable directory.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of MATLAB R2015a environment and its folder structure

Hey guys, so I wanted to give Matlab a shot regarding programming standalone applications but I keep getting the same error whenever I use "deploytool" in the command prompt.
The error message picture is attached to this message.
According to the error message I must change my MATLAB current folder to a writable folder. The thing is, I don't know which Matlab folder it is referring to. The Matlab program files folder is in the program files folder as most of the other folders from the other programs are, and this folder is perfectly writable. The message also says Matlab creates a .prj file somewhere, my obvious guess is that this file goes into the evil unwritable folder and thus the error showing up.
I would investigate on this matter by myself some more but I'm kinda rushing to get this done so I would really appreciate your help again. :)
