Appdesigner Packaged App not starting

Hello,

I created a standalone desktop app using App Designer R2019b. When I try opening the resulting exe file, I get the following error after it shows the initial splash image.

Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

Thanks,

Mathew

This might be a DLL shadowing issue. Can you try coping the standalone exe file to <matlab root>/bin/win64 or <mcrroot>/bin/win64 and launching it from there? This can ensure the exe will launch proper version of DLLs that shipped with MATLAB or MCR.

Yes, that was it. Copying it into the /win64 folder makes it identify the right dlls. I had versions 2018b and 2019b. I tried removing 2018, but the problem persists. Any thoughts on how to correct the dll shadowing issue?
