SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on executing a DOS program from MATLAB on macOS Leopard while using Windows XP via Parallels Desktop. Users encountered challenges with the 'system' and 'dos' commands, leading to an 'access denied' error. The issue is compounded by directory renaming when using remote software to run MATLAB in Parallels. Proper configuration of directory paths and permissions is essential for successful execution.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with MATLAB scripting and command execution
  • Understanding of macOS Leopard and Windows XP environments
  • Knowledge of Parallels Desktop virtualization software
  • Basic troubleshooting skills for file permissions and access issues
NEXT STEPS
  • Research MATLAB's 'system' and 'dos' command documentation for proper usage
  • Explore Parallels Desktop settings for shared folder permissions
  • Learn about file path management between macOS and Windows in a virtual environment
  • Investigate solutions for 'access denied' errors in Windows XP
USEFUL FOR

Developers and researchers using MATLAB in cross-platform environments, particularly those working with macOS and Windows XP in virtualized settings.

I am running MATLAB on Leopard, i need to run a dos program via MATLAB script file. I also have windows xp running with parallel desktop. my m file is in the same directory as the dos program, on my virtual xp drive. i have tried using commands such as system and dos.. but to no avail.

anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried running the Windows version of MATLAB in Parallels?
 
I tried that but it was through remote software, so it renamed my directories for some reason. That made the program incapable of running.

i get an 'access denied' error
