Why do I get an error regarding "install_addon" when I try to install the Simscape Multibody Link plugin?

I am having an issue in linking SolidWorks to MATLAB. I download the 'install_addon.m' file. However, I receive an error when I execute the following command:
>> install_addon('smlink.r2010a.win.32.zip')
But I encounter the error:
ERROR: ??? Undefined function or method 'install_addon' for
input arguments of type 'char'.
or:
ERROR: Unrecognized function or variable 'install_addon'

In order to execute the 'install_addon' for the SolidWorks product, make sure that the following files are in the MATLAB current working directory. The two files are:
  • install_addon.m
  • smlink.r2010a.win.32.zip (or similar)
