I have been trying to deploy MATLAB R2023b to Windows 10 PC’s in our organization, using remote Powershell scripts which run under SYSTEM credentials. However, the installation always hangs, fairly close to the end. The mathworks_install.log shows the last log as ‘Installing MathWorks Service Host’, which is where it seems to hang indefinitely.
From what I can see, when installing MATLAB in a user context, the Service Host would be installed to C:Users%username%AppDataLocalMathWorksServiceHost. I am guessing that the MATLAB installer has a problem with this when running as SYSTEM. Does anyone have any advice on how we might get around this? As far as I can tell, any user who logs into the PC and opens MATLAB will have the Service Host installed under their profile – so I don’t think it is necessary for this to be done during the initial installation? I would take any suggestion which would allow the installation routine to complete.I have been trying to deploy MATLAB R2023b to Windows 10 PC’s in our organization, using remote Powershell scripts which run under SYSTEM credentials.
