Running 64 bit exe from 32 bit MATLAB

I have MATLAB 32bit installed on Win7 64bit OS. Is it possible to call external 64 bit exe using system command (or something else)?

Yes, system() starts up a new process for the command you give it.

Answer 2

Why not simply try it?

system('"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" &')        % 64 bit
system('"C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" &')  % 32 bit

Btw. You can install the 64 bit version of Matlab also, when you have a license for the 32 bit version.
