Cannot open MATLAB from MATHEMATICA

Question

I am using MATLAB R18 and MATHEMATICA 12. I downloaded MATlink to the directory generated by the command:

SystemOpen@FileNameJoin[{$UserBaseDirectory, "Applications"}]

Next I wrote:

Needs["MATLink`"]
OpenMATLAB[]

Mathematica starts evaluation but fails to open MATLAB in the background. Any help would be appreciated.

Is there an information function that returns the details of the MatLab install? Perhaps you need to point MATLink to your MatLav installation. — Edmund, Mar 26 at 13:54

I found it out, the path that I should define in the system has to be where the *.dll files are located, not where the matlab.exe is located,

i.e., c\******\bin\win64

not c\******\bin

$\begingroup$ This resolves the issue. The directory win64 has to be added to the $PATH variable on Windows. $\endgroup$
