Failure Loading Desktop Class

I got this error when trying to run MATLAB 6 R12.

“Failure Loading Desktop Class”

The first result in Google didn’t help. But Solution 1-1881O did.

I’m running Windows XP on a Dell Dimension 4600 with a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4. With a similar (P4-based) setup, you may get the same error. To fix it, simply download and run this patch: JREpatch.exe.

Make sure MATLAB is closed when you run it. The first time I did, I was running MATLAB (although it wasn’t working) - and some files couldn’t be overwritten. After running the patch, MATLAB worked like a charm.

That patch really worked. Thanks a lot!

 

I did a google search as I was having the same problem and ran across this site. Thanks!!

 

There’s a simple rule when running Matlab that everyone must remember: “Matlab is evil. None other will ever be as evil as Matlab. Bow before its evil.”

And that’s my story of hatred towards Matlab as I, the sayer of Moo!, must hate all things evil and as demonstrated by the above rule: Matlab is evil. (Evil monkeys and any cults they may form are perfectly ok.)
