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.

Extract the files without 3rd party software

If you have Windows 7 and no zip software (e.g. WinZip, 7-zip) is installed you still can unzip the files.
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.
