Windows 10: Can't install Matlab R2006a!!! Help!!!

Thanks. Hmm, it's a batch file, rather than .exe. Not clear how to run in compatibility mode...

 

Matlab is Matlab.exe no?

 

My Matlab shortcut has always been a .bat file. The installer sets it up that way.

 

Now it seems to run!. I added "set __COMPAT_LAYER=VISTARTM" into the .bat file.

Well done. Seemed a bit of a struggle!

 

Thanks again. Does your matlab have squirrely, fuzzy letters on all the main menus? Mine does (tried all resolutions and system settings). The fonts on the command and editor windows are fine, but the squirrely letters are going to take some getting used to, since I bought this machine as my ultimate splurge computer. This and the fact that I can't change the background color on all the programs from white or black, which is hard on my eyes, still has me leaning back toward getting windows7!

 

In my situation at work I recommended and pushed Windows 10 because we were still on Windows XP which was not supported anymore and window 7, which I like better, is already not supported! An unsupported OS is more trouble than incorrect fonts and less efficient UI unfortunately

 

Got cha. I just noticed that a Matlab m-file I just ran on this new i7, 32Gram windows10 machine takes as much time as my really old windows7 laptop, and 6 times longer than my work win7 machine with Xeon processor. Do you notice a performance hit on your matlab2006 when installed on win10 machine?

 

No I didn't have any performance issue
