One possible reason for this error could be that the function is trying to access the temp directory on your machine but the path has spaces which is why it is not read correctly. For example, if the path to your temp directory is similar to the one below, it will throw the above error:
“C:\Users\userName\DOCUMENTS\Local Settings\temp”
This path will incorrectly be read as
“C:\Users\userName\DOCUMENTS\Local”
And hence would fail to read a file that is actually stored in the temp directory.
To fix this please change your environment variable (TEMP/TMP) to reflect a path that does not have spaces like the one below (only an example):
“C:\Users\userName\DOCUMENTS\LocalSettings\temp”
Please follow the instructions to change the environment variable:
a) From inside MATLAB you can use the following commands:
newPath = 'new\path'; setenv('TEMP', newPath); setenv('TMP', newPath);
b) From Windows follow the instructions below:
1) Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. 2) Click the Advanced tab. 3) Click Environment variables.
Click on the following options, for either a user or a system variable: a) Click New to add a new variable name and value. b) Click an existing variable, and then click Edit to change its name or value. c) Click an existing variable, and then click Delete to remove it.
Please note that by changing the environment variable, you are not only changing it for MATLAB but for all applications that refer to the variable.
