Question: What are the SimMechanics Link Problem?

I am trying to import a Solidowrks assembly into simMechanics. I followed all the steps as in the web site. I have the pull-down menu SinMechanics Link in SolidWorks. When I try to save the assembly in the xml format, I get this error:   Could not start MATLAB. Check your MATLAB installation. Consult documentation to identify possible causes of failure.   I get this error regarding Matlab is open or not.   Note: I am using Matlab 2010a and SolidWorks 2010

    - Install matlab and solidworks on same drive (ex: C: or D:).
     
    - Right-click on the MATLAB icon, and selecting "Run as Administrator"
    - Write the command
     
    install_addon('smlink.r2014a.win64.zip')
    (adapt the name of the version to your version, here r2014a ) when on the same directory as the two downloaded files.
    - Type the following commands one after another:
     
     
    smlink_linksw
regmatlabserver

    - At that point you should be able to enable the SimMechanics plugin in Solidworks with these instructions.
