Help: Why cann't I use dynare?

[_Bisu_]

Hi everyone,
I just started to learn how to use dynare. But unfortunately, when I made an estimation using dynare, dynare didn't work.
The error information is as follows,
>> dynare D:\Pa\Code.mod

Configuring Dynare ...

[mex] Sylvester equation solution.
[mex] Kronecker products.
[mex] Sparse kronecker products.
[mex] Bytecode evaluation.
[mex] k-order perturbation solver.
[mex] k-order solution simulation.

My matlab version is 2010b and my dynare version is 4.2.0.
My operating system is Win7 32bit.
I hope my kind-hearted friends can give me a hand.
Thanks~

Invoking Dynare with

Code: Select all

dynare D:\Pa\Code.mod

is wrong. You have to move the Matlab Current Directory to D:\Pa and then use:

Code: Select all

dynare Code

It is the "\" that is creating the problems
