Trouble Connecting to Matlab

[#1]

All, 
   I was able to get JMP to work with Matlab 2018b , but had to downgrade to 2018a for a specific project. 

   What I have done thus far: 

1. Created an environment variable called MATLABROOT - "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2018a\"

2. Checked if the PATH system variable has the Matlab Path - ""C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2018a\bin\" (this is where the matlab executable is installed) 

   When I try to run a simple test, it fails to establish a connection with Matlab:

 

  Can anybody help ?

I would contact JMP support
support@jmp.com

Just a guess, is in the path variable the R2018b before the R2018a listed? Not sure if this makes a difference, however as I worked for MW many years a go there were situations where this mattered. 

Please if you contacted support, enter the final answer which solved your problem here as well, thanks!

Essentially what worked is uninstalling Matlab and getting it re-installed. This was the advice I got from Technical Support and that seemed to do the trick.
