What is MEXW32 file?

The MEXW32 file has been categorized as Executable Files. The author of this format is MathWorks, Inc.. Additionally, the Executable Files category contains 140 of other files. MATlab Program Executable is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The MATLAB application is recommended to open the file. It was released by MathWorks, Inc..

How to open MEXW32 file?

An often recurring problem with MATlab Program Executable is that MEXW32 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open MEXW32, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MEXW32 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install MATLAB

In this case, you should first verify that the MATLAB application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name MATLAB into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MEXW32 with MATLAB. Below you will find a list of applications that support MEXW32 files.

Programs to open MEXW32 file

Remember to download programs supporting MEXW32 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of MATLAB with MEXW32 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MEXW32 file to open in the MATLAB application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MEXW32 file with the MATLAB application.

Step 3. Update MATLAB to the latest version

If, however, after binding MATLAB with MATlab Program Executable there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the MathWorks, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MEXW32 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MEXW32 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MEXW32 file. Sometimes virus-infected MEXW32 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MEXW32 file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MEXW32 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use MathWorks, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MEXW32 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the MEXW32 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MEXW32 to close. However, some background programs may block the MEXW32 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
