I've recently compiled a MATLAB program for distribution. I'd selected "Runtime downloaded from web". I know the .exe is located in "for_redistribution_files_only", but it does not seem to install MCR 8.3 for the end user. Do I need to direct my end users to the Mathworks website to download MCR, or is there a way to package it in the .exe?

You need the installer, rather than the .exe. I think this is located in the 'for_redistribution' folder instead.

When I click on "MyAppInstaller_web", it reads: " There are no products available to install from this location. You may need to download the appropriate products from our web-site (www.mathworks.com)."

Is this what is supposed to happen when I select "Download runtime from web"? I figured it would automatically start downloading from the internet.

I'm not sure what that message means. When I try it I already have the runtime installed so it tells me that and I can't test what happens if I don't have it installed (I don't want to uninstall it).

You can package the MCR into the installer though if you tick the "Runtime included in package" option instead of "Runtime downloaded from web".

I recommend you ship the MCRinstaller.exe and your app separately. The MCRInstaller is huge, like >500+ MB, while your app is probably less than 10 MB or so. If you ship upgrades (minor tweaks, bug fixes, etc.) why ship the whole huge MCR with it when they've already installed it once. All they need to do is install your app, not the MCR again, so why ship it?
