Excel Add-in Deployment Problem

I created the filename_pkg.exe file using MATLAB EX (selecteing Excel Add-in from the dropdown menu on the GUI) and loaded the file onto a computer without Matlab to deploy it.

A command window appeared and I followed the on screen instructions to install the MRCInstaller.

After clicking finish on the installer a dialog box titled RegSvr32 displays:

The module "filename_1_0.dll" failed to load.

Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files.

The specified module could not be found.

I have struggled with this issue all day and have tried various web searches including vcredist_x86.exe and mwregsvr projectdll.dll in the cmd window to try and remedy another error i am getting in Excel (ActiveX component can't create object).

Any help would be very much appreciated!

You might find it useful to use Dependency Walker to chase down any missing dependencies.

I had this or related problem, issue seemed to be caused by missing dependencies from files that were a part of the visual studio installation msvcp100.dll,msvcr100.dll and msvcr90.dll. If those files are next to the deployment dll when the dll is registered the error goes away
