(Sep 03, 2009 01:36:10)There was an unexpected exception:
null
Then I checked the MATLAB_R2009a.app (right click => Show Package Content), and found that
there was no such directory "bin/maci64", but only "bin/maci".
So I copied and renamed it to "maci", ran the installation again. This time I got another exception:
(Sep 03, 2009 12:26:51)com.mathworks.instutil.JNIException: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /Applications/MATLAB_R2009a.app/bin/maci64/libinstutil.jnilib: no suitable image found.

...
This "wrong architecture" message reminded me to turn to Java settings for the final trial.
(After all, the activation program was written in Java :p)
And it worked!!
Here's the solution:
1. Use Finder to go to /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.
2. In the Java Application section, set 32-bit as the first priority over the 64-bit by dragging it upward.
3. Run the MATLAB R2009a installation again.
As I remember, Java in
Leopard had the
Java SE 5 (32-bit) as the first priority, but Snow Leopard does not! (all Java SE 6, and 64-bit first)
Hopefully you will finally see this activation window. I believe everyone knows what to do next :DD
Upon success, you can see that MATLAB R2009a runs in 32-bit mode.
I also saw some good news about the coming
R2009b release from
MATLAB Central blog.
The R2009b will be a 64-bit version, and will move one step closer to being entirely independent of X11. However the latter is going to take another couple of releases to accomplish...
I really look forward to the day when 64-bit + native MATLAB application become possible :)
