InstallForMacOSX will not open on Yosemite

When I double click the bundled install app it appears momentarily in the dock and then disappears without displaying any error message. During this operation Console reports:

9/11/15 10:15:33.534 AM Dock[1161]: no information back from LS about running process LSASN:{hi=0x0;lo=0x3dd3dd}

I have tried changing permissions on the bundle using sudo chmod +x so the permissions for the installer are as such:

drwxr-xr-x@ 3 willsilva  staff      102 Sep 11 10:12 InstallForMacOSX.app

Double clicking the "install" executable in the extracted matlab_R2015b_maci64 directory successfully launched the installer. Not sure why the bundled installer doesn't open it, the readme.txt points to using "InstallForMacOSX". Would be glad to provide any further details for MathWorks if they'd like to try and debug this issue.

Matlab has installed but will not open via the app in Applications or the dock. The app bundles (both the installer and the launcher) seem to be broken for OS X Yosemite. When trying to launch Matlab from the Applications folder, Console reports:

9/11/15 12:44:33.180 PM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.mathworks.matlab.6848[72449]) Service exited with abnormal code: 1

Using the Terminal and navigating inside the MATLAB_R2015b.app/bin I can launch Matlab. I'd like to be able to use the dock and application icon rather than doing this.

I am having the same problem. I was wondering if you were able to solve the problem?

When I look for more information about that error message, the contexts I find it usually talk about there being permission problems with an executable, that they needed to chmod +x something to get whatever they were doing to run.
