Sounds like you have no write access to that folder. Change that and if you can't, try installing it somewhere else or ask your administrator. Alternatively, install as administrator if you can.

[Walter Roberson]

The command would need to be executed with the MATLAB session running as Administrator.

I was installing this as an administrator, still i am getting the same error

[Walter Roberson]

I would suggest going in as administrator and creating the directory from the command shell if needed, and checking the existing permissions of the file if it already exists.

HI Walter, i didn't get ur point, can u explain me little briefly
