[Homer-users] a basic question about installment

Tue Feb 8 16:21:56 EST 2011

Hongyu,

I believe the .exe for MCR listed on the PMI Homer website is 102Mb. It
looks like you downloaded the combined file. I would suggest downloading
Homer.exe and MCRInstaller.exe separately and installing MCR first. That
always worked for me without having MATLAB installed.
