Hi,

This sounds like a missing dependency. Either the needed DLL does not exist on your system or it exists but has the wrong version. It’s a bit tricky to figure out why it won’t work. Which MATLAB are you using and on which operating system? I know that on windows Server 2008 there exists some issue with the blas libraries.

thanks for your response. for more clarity i add following information.

i am running matlab 7.10.0(R2010a) on windows XP service pack 3 version 2002.

i hope you better understand issue now and give me some suggestion

Normally on XP there shouldnt be any problem with the BLAS libs. Do you have a BLAS_VERSION environment variable?

Have the same issue: Running a Matlab based application on an MacBook Pro M4, with Paralles 20 Business Edition, Windows 11. gives an REFBLAS.DLL missing error!?

The same application runs fine on my old Win10 Laptop with native Intel processer. I had a seach on the HDD for the missing REFBLAS.DLL but is not present on the old laptop! Sounds weird that this DLL is needed in an Virtual Machine? Could not find the REFBLAS.DLL on the web either - anyone found a solution?

We tried to run this application on an Intel MacBook 2018 and Paralles 18 and it is working flawlessly! So the issue with missing REFBLAS.DLL I'm experiencing may be due to the M4 chipset -or- ARM based Windows11 version!

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

Switching to another virtual machine software Vmware Fusion that supports Windows 10 ARM did not encounter this issue, and the software usage problem was resolved.

[Jörg]

I contacted the paralles support and they found the problem! The solution is very simple:

Uninstall the "MATLAB Compiler Runtime 7.16 (32-bit)" on Windows 11 by going to ‘Control Panel → Programs and Features’

Now everything is running smoothly! Hope this helps someone with the same issue!?
