[FieldTrip] FEM headmodel: Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributables and Intel Visual Fortran Redistributables

["Jörn M. Horschig"]

Hi Gwenael,

I am not sure how much you know about mex-files, so this might go a bit 
over the top. The error you are describing probably stems from the fact 
that there are additional dependencies to other files on the 
mexed-version. We encountered similar things in the past with other 
FieldTrip functions, and found that the 2008 compiler actually should be 
compatible with any Windows version. Maybe the one who compiled the 
simbio toolbox did something other funky? Anyway, long story short, 
since the simbio toolbox is an external toolbox, we as the FieldTrip 
team do not maintain it. I don't know what you precisely need to 
install. You can use http://dependencywalker.com/ to find dependencies 
of the respective mexw64 file and try to find the respective packages 
containing these files. Just to assure you, when I try to execute the 
mex-file on Windows, I also get that error. On Linux it works fine 
though. I will bring this up in the next FieldTrip meeting and we will 
discuss this. We'll let you know about a solution. You could also go 
ahead and contact the Simbio guys directly (and share whatever the 
solution is with us, please)

Best,
Jörn
