Download the zip files Download the zip file(s) from https://icts.kuleuven.be/software/matlab/R2011B/

Matlab2011b-win64-0.zip contains Matlab and Simulink. So if you only need to install Matlab, then this

is the only file that is needed.

Matlab2011b-win64-1.zip 1 contains the more popular toolboxes and Matlab2011b-win64-2.zip

contains the other toolboxes. Check the readme-file on the download site to view the content of the zip-

files. Download the additional zip file(s) if needed to install additional toolboxes.

Example:

If you are have to install Matlab and the Optimization toolbox, then you need to download

Matlab2011b-win64-0.zip and Matlab2011b-win64-1.zip

If you are installing Matlab, Statistics toolbox and the Wavelet toolbox, then you have to

download the 3 zip files, since the Statistics is enlosed in Matlab2011b-win64-1.zip and Wavelet

in Matlab2011b-win64-2.zip

Extract the zip files When you have downloaded the different zip files, you must extract these zip files to the same

directory.

Right click on the zip file and select the option ‘Extract All’ (Alles Uitpakken).

The Windows wizard proposes default to extract to a folder using the same name as the file, do not use

this default and specify a folder yourself, e.g. Matlab2011b and the files will be extracted.

If you need to unpack the other zip files, proceed the same way and slect the same folder to unpack the

files into. Windows will issue a warning that you will merge files, but accept this.

Once the files are extracted, the installation can be started.
