Error using matlabpool: Elements of cell array input A must be strings

Hi,

Matlab 2013a Winx64. I execute:

matlabpool

I get an error:

>> matlabpool

Starting matlabpool using the 'local' profile ...

Error using matlabpool (line 134)

Elements of cell array input A must be strings(row vectors of class char).

I don't have any problems with Matlab2011.

Using parallel> validation produces the same error.

Deleting C:\Users\zohar\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2013a didn't help.

Resolved:

It seems that

C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2013a\toolbox\local\pathdef.m

is in the installation directory (really??), and ADMAT-2.0 caused the problem. Removing it from the path, resolved the problem.
