MCR not found when running application

Hello,
I am trying to run some code compiled with Compiler.
I get this message in a Error dialog box: "Could not Find version 8.3 of the MCR. Attempting to load mclmcrrt8.dll. Please install the correct version of the MCR. Contact your vendor if you do not have an installer for the MCR."
Compiled using MATLAB R2014a on Windows 7 64 bit, with "Runtime downloaded from web" enabled. I installed the application on the same machine. MCR does seem to be installed, in C:\Program Files\MATLAB\MATLAB Compiler Runtime\v83 The application is also in C:\Program Files, not C:\Program Files (x86). I rebooted the machine after installation.
Any help would be great, thanks!

You need the right version of the Matlab Compiler Runtime installed in that machine. Also, the folder where it is installed should be in the PATH.
It looks like you haven't got it.

There is a 2048 character limit on the Path environment variable. See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2010/02/03/9957320.aspx

The MCR doesn't need to be in a folder where you have access, like My Documents. Installers get special priviliges. Generally the MCRs are installed under the Program Files\MATLAB\MATLAB Compiler Runtime\v83 folder. Look for that, especially the v83. If you don't have v83 then make sure you install the correct version. If you have that, you should be good. I know because I have lots of end-user systems set up this way.
It does not matter where (what folder) your executable (that calls the MCR) is installed.
If it still does not work, get a console window and check the PATH environment variable. Perhaps you have an old MCR before it in the path.
Finally, look over the FAQ: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#My_standalone_executable_won.27t_run_on_the_target_computer._What_can_I_try.3F
Of course you can also call tech support - might as well get some support for the very high price you paid for your compiler.
