Windows (32-bit) platform
Define the environment variable VS71COMNTOOLS. The value of this environment
variable is the path to the Common7\Tools directory of the Visual Studio .NET 2002
or 2003 installation directory. (Intel Visual Fortran requires Visual Studio .NET
2002 or 2003 on 32-bit Windows platforms.) The Visual Studio .NET 2003 installation
program commonly defines this environment variable. For example, you might set the
environment variable as follows:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools
Windows x64 platform
Define the environment variable MSSdk. The value of this environment variable is the
path to the installation directory for Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003.
(Intel Visual Fortran requires Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 on
Windows x64 platforms.) The Microsoft Platform SDK installation program does not
commonly define this environment variable. For example, the environment variable
might have the value
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK
Changes to Handling ActiveX Methods
In MATLAB Version 7.4 (R2007a), a change was made to Microsoft ActiveX
®
methods
which was not documented in the release notes. This change is described in “Changes to
Handling Microsoft ActiveX Methods” on page 20-44 in the MATLAB Release Notes,
Version 7.4 (R2007a).
Changes to Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) Documentation
In MATLAB V5.1, all development work for the Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)
server and client was stopped. This functionality is no longer documented in V7.5
(R2007b). MathWorks provides, instead, a MATLAB interface to COM technology that is
documented in Using COM Objects from MATLAB .
Obsolete Functionality No Longer Documented
Documentation for Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) is no longer included in External
Interfaces.
