title: MATLAB Error: Can't check VCRTs
body: <p>When I start MATLAB I suddenly receive the following error message on the command line:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>ERROR: Can't check 8.0 VCRTs (starter line:956) System Error:
    0x00000005 ERROR: Can't check 9.0 VCRTs (starter line:995) System
    Error: 0x00000005 Installing required 8.0 run-time libraries. This may
    take a few minutes...</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I tried to repair and reinstall the Visual C++ Redistributables (2005 and 2008), but that didn't solve the problem. Doing online research I mainly found out that people who had a similar problem reinstalled windows. Well, does anyone have another idea what I could try in order to solve that?</p>
