GUI fig backward compatibilty

Hey guys,

I need some help with the following.

I have developed a GUI on 2012a version of MATLAB, using guide. I tried to run it on a 2006b version, and it gives a segmentation error.

Just like in this link:

I tried the solutions suggested in the following links:

http://www.mathworks.co.uk/matlabcentral/answers/3930-version-2011-produces-fig-file-unreadable-by-version-2006 http://www.mathworks.co.uk/support/solutions/en/data/1-663J0X/?solution=1-663J0X

Anybody with an idea on how to work around it?

And has the Solution 1-663J0X been successful?

It isn't relevant, as R2006b does have function handles.

However, R2012a GUIDE makes use of objects that do not exist in R2006b.

I seem to recall that GUIDE has a facility to save a gui as an older version. It might not have exactly the same functionality or look, but at least it would not crash like that.

It is true, and this setting is in Preferences, under General/MAT-Files.

Yet what I have selected is MATLAB Version 7 or later. Despite this though, it still doesn't run or load any GUI made with 2012a version, that I have.

I get the feeling that in my case, the problem might have sth to do with the fact I am using a x64 system, and I guess the version I am trying to run on is 32bit system...

Any ideas how to solve such an issue?
