Powerpoint Generation MATLAB App Issues

I have created a MATLAB Application with App Designer and it outputs the powerpoint correctly within App Designer but then once I had compiled it, created it as a MATLAB App that I can then install as an app in MATLAB and then run the app, the powerpoint won't be generated properly and it will cause an error. It saves the file where I want it to but the powerpoint will give an error when I try to open. You can see the error message in the image below. It tells me to repair and once I click on it, the powerpoint will be empty but it should have 7 slides full of information. I have tried the code with the 'makePPTCompilable()' and without it and it still doesn't work.

Ratanjot,

Try writing the full path to your image files and see if that resolves the issue.

I am assuming you are receiving this error when creating your PowerPoint:

Caught "std::exception" Exception message is:

createInputStream failed: No such file or directory
