Yes, if you have MATLAB itself installed, the required runtime files are already on your computer within the MATLAB installation directory. For example, you might find it in C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2023b\bin\win64 . However, a standalone compiled program might still look for it in the MATLAB Runtime's standard directory, which is why installing the standalone MCR is still the safest approach to guarantee compatibility.
This is the definitive fix. You must download the version that matches the application's requirements. Go to the MathWorks Official MATLAB Runtime download page . Locate . The target machine has an MCR framework installed,
