Calling mexw32 file from 64bit Matlab

I have just installed MATLAB 2014a 64 bit version. Before that I always used the 32 bit versions of MATLAB. Since upgrading to the 64 bit version I am no longer able to call a mexw32 file called CreateGuid which I got from the FEX a couple of years ago and use extensively in my applications. The mexw32 file is in the same directory it has always been in and I have added that directory to my saved path since upgrading to the 64 bit version of MATLAB 2014a. The failure I get is 'Undefined function or variable 'CreateGuid'.

Is this behaviour expected? Do you have any suggestions about how it can be resolved given that no source code is provided with the FEX submission and I don't have a compiler even if there was a source?

Thanks

I think this summed it pretty well.

Thanks for your prompt response. It's back to 32 bit MATLAB until either a 64 bit version of CreateGuid appears on FEX or I have the time to write an alternative.

Hello Steve Page do you have still 32 bit matlab version? I need help :(

[Steve Page]

Hello Deniz. I no longer use 32bit MATLAB I migrated to 64bit years ago.

Hmmm... Good for you. Now tell me how your response contributes to this issue?

Stephen Landry - I was asked if I still have a 32 bit version of MATLAB - my answer is that I do not.

Had I been asked how I resolved my original problem I would have responded that I wrote my own version of createguid using a suggestion from 'Tom' posted as a comment on the original FEX submission on 4 November 2011: -
