Error when using webcam support package

Hi,
on a new installation of MATLAB R2014a I installed the USB Webcam support package. When I enter
webcamlist
in the command window I get the following error message:
Invalid MEX-file 'C:\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2014a\webcam\webcammex.mexw64': The specified module could not be found.
Error in matlab.webcam.internal.Utility.enumerateWebcams (line 21)
Error in webcamlist (line 25)
[success, camList] = matlab.webcam.internal.Utility.enumerateWebcams;
The only advice I found on these types of errors was to install the redistributable packages of Visual C++. Thus I installed the following packages:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (Update 4)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (SP1)
However, the error is still raised. Is there anything else that I can try?
Cheers, Thomas

I also experienced that problem, but after I install different choice of driver (I choose: OS Generic Video Interface) it works fine.
