Typically, the deployed application is unpacked in a directory named "application-name"_mcr in the directory where the deployed application .exe resides (at least on Windows platform, which is my use case). Hence the requirement for write permission to that directory (see MATLAB compiler documentation). But I would like to change it to somewhere else (like system tmp).
Googling for that I came across the option to use MCR_CACHE_ROOT environment variable (on undocumented MATLAB site) to specify the unpacking directory. But in MATLAB 2014a (which is the revision I use), that option seems to have been deprecated. Earlier versions of MATLAB used to document that environment variable, but in the newer versions, that information is gone from the documentation too.
So is there a way to change the unpacking location for the packaged standalone applications in the newer MATLAB (version 2014a or newer)?
