title: I have some issue during adding VLFEAT to MATLAB 7.10.0 (R2010a)
body: <p>My malab installation folder is  </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2010a\bin\matlab.exe  </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and I have added <code>vlfeat</code> to my current user folder:  </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>C:\Users\Patrick\Documents\MATLAB\vlfeat-0.9.18\toolbox\vl_setup  </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have created a startup file <code>startup.m</code> in this location  </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>C:\Users\Patrick\Documents\MATLAB\startup.m  </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>where I have added a command line  </p>
  
  <pre><code>run('C:\Users\Patrick\Documents\MATLAB\vlfeat-0.9.18\toolbox\vl_setup')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but when I try to use its feature in another <code>deafautnamefile.m</code> and use some command like:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>I = vl_impattern('roofs1') ;
  image(I) ;
  I = single(rgb2gray(I)) ;
  [f,d] = vl_sift(I) ;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it gives the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Invalid MEX-file 'C:\Program Files\MATLAB\vlfeat-0.9.18-bin\vlfeat-0.9.18\toolbox\mex\mexw32\vl_sift.mexw32': The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.  </p>
    
    <p>Error in ==> sf at 4
    [f,d] = vl_sift(I) ;</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How can I resolve this?</p>
