Why do I receive the error message "The system cannot find the file specified"

Why do I received the error message, while reinstalling my MATLAB already installed.
C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2019b\help\antenna\help search\segments (The system cannot find the file specified)
Not able to fix it. Kindly give some solution to reinstall the MATLAB version "R2019b"

It could be many possibilities
  1. Old files interfering with you previously installed Matlab
  2. Path of the installation. Check to see the matlab installation is in the specified directory. I suggest you put your matlab image or zip file on the destop. mount it from there. then when the installation starts specify to be installing in your C:\ drive
  3. It could also be your matlab installer is corrupted.
