Files Generated After Packaging MATLAB Functions

When the packaging process is complete, three folders are generated in the target folder location: for_redistribution, for_redistribution_files_only, and for_testing.

`for_redistribution` Folder

Distribute the for_redistribution folder to users who do not have MATLAB^® installed on their machines.

The folder contains the file MyAppInstaller_web.exe that installs the application and the MATLAB Runtime (if it is included in the application at the time of packaging). It installs all the files that enable use of the packaged application on the target platform with the target language in the target folder.

`for_redistribution_files_only` Folder

Distribute the for_redistribution_files_only folder to users who do not have MATLAB installed on their machines. This folder contains specific files that enable use of the packaged application on the target platform with the target language.

Standalone Applications

File	Description
`filename.exe`	Standalone executable file.
`readme.txt`	Text file containing packaging information.
`splash.png`	When the executable starts, the file is read from the same folder where the executable is located, and the splash screen is displayed.

Excel Add-Ins

File	Description
`_install.bat`	The file that registers the generated `dll` file.
`filename.bas`	VBA module file that can be imported into a VBA project.
`filename.xla`	Excel^® add-in that can be added directly to Excel. You do not need both `.bas` file and `.xla` file, one of them is sufficient.
`filename_2_0.dll`	The generated `dll` that needs to be registered using `mwregsvr.exe` or `regsvr32.exe`.
`readme.txt`	Text file containing packaging information.

`for_testing` Folder

Use the files in this folder to test your application. The folder contains all the intermediate and final artifacts such as binaries, JAR files, header files, and source files for a specific target. The final artifacts created during the packaging process are the same files as described in for_redistribution_files_only Folder. For further information on how to test your packaged applications, see the following topics:

Target	Link
Standalone Application	Install Standalone Application
Excel Add-In	Execute Functions and Create Macros

The intermediate artifacts generated are a result of packaging of the MATLAB files. They are not significant to the user.

This folder also contains two text files. mccExcludedFiles.txt lists the files excluded from packaged application, and requiredMCRProducts.txt contains product IDs of products required by MATLAB Runtime to run the application.
