Installation Error
Hey all --
I've installed CONN many times, but am now running into an error when trying to install on my home machine (Windows 10 Education, 64-bit). Every time, the CONN GUI starts up and freezes on the "Initializing... Please wait" step.
Have a fresh copy of R2018a, downloaded Conn v18.a and SPM 12. `conn_update` and `spm_update` both state the packages are up-to-date. Tried re-downloading and and extracting several times, but it's still occurring.
Any ideas about what might be happening?
```
ERROR DESCRIPTION:
Error using conn (line 562)
INSTALLATION PROBLEM. Please re-install SPM and CONN and try again
Error in conn (line 115)
conn init;
CONN v.undetermined
SPM12 + DEM FieldMap MEEGtools
Matlab v.2018a
spm @ C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2018a\toolbox\spm12
conn @ C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2018a\toolbox\conn
```

RE: Installation Error
I was able to get around this by installing Matlab R2017a, with
Conn18a and SPM12. Not sure if this is a bug or a change in MATLAB,
but it does seem to resolve with earlier versions.

RE: Installation Error
Hi Stephen,
I don't think the problem is because of a change in MATLAB. I am using Conn18a, SPM12, and MATLAB 2018a and I don't run into any problems. The error seems to indicate that Conn is unable to find the mask.volume.brainmask.nii file. Can you try something like
and see if it resolves the problem? Looks like a path related error, though it does seem strange that you are able to get it to run with an older version of MATLAB.

addpath(fullfile(fileparts(which('conn.m')), 'utils',
'surf'))
and see if it resolves the problem? Looks like a path related error, though it does seem strange that you are able to get it to run with an older version of MATLAB.

RE: Installation Error
Hi
I have nearly the same problem with installing conn18b on Matlab 2018, though I was using conn toolbox with Matlab 2017 perfectly fine.
Not sure what could be the problem. I reinstall Matlab and everything but it doesn't help.
Here is the error. I googled it but couldn't find anything helpful.
ERROR DESCRIPTION:
Undefined function 'conn_guibackground' for input arguments of type 'char'.
Error in conn>conn_menuframe (line 10252)
if isfield(CONN_gui,'background'), b0=conn_guibackground('get',get(ha,'position'),size(c)); end
