How can I use COM functions with MAC

Dear all,
I have a Mac OS 10.8.5 and Matlab 2013b. I need to use the function actxserver which is a function of the Matlab COM interface. However, it is written that COM functions are available on Microsoft Windows® systems only. How can I overcome this problem ?
I really hope there is a solution.
Thank you
Léa

You can't overcome the problem. This is not a matlab decision. COM is Microsoft technology, it is only available on Windows.
If you really need COM on OSX you'll need to run matlab in a virtual machine (parallel, virtualbox, VMWare, etc.) running Windows together with your COM server.
What do you need COM for? Possibly there is something equivalent for Macs.
