Add folder problems when using Deploytool

I need add some files in my standalone application. Then I found I can't add a folder in the end user folder. Instead of that, matlab will add all files in the selected folder instead. Is there any way I can add a folder in my application?

That is correct. Unfortunately you still cannot add files wherever you want. I talked with the compiler technical support about this and they stated that currently you cannot place the files that you want to deploy into, for example, "C:\myData\my app files" or any other arbitrary folder. For me that was a deal breaker and that's why I continue to use a third party installer builder package. They let the developers know that. Hopefully in some new version you will be able to specify exactly where you want files to go.

Thank you. And I decide to create a folder when run this application at the first time. Anyway, matlab is a tool for computing more than GUI designing.

Hi Zhichao,

When you run the 'deploytool' command, the Application Compiler GUI provides the following sections:

1) Files you want to compile.

2) Files required for your application to run. (You can select the folder that you wish to add here)
