Hi,
I'm interested in setting the Add-ons path using commands rather than going through the MATLAB preferences dialog. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
Alan

One place the add-ons directory is stored, at least on Windows, is a matlab.settings file in the AppData folder. For example, mine is c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2017b\matlab.settings with a key name of "InstallationFolder".

So what's the solution to change the add-ons directory directly?
We have this to change the hardware support package directory.
matlabshared.supportpkg.setSupportPackageRoot
But why don't we have something like this?
matlab.internal.setSettingsRoot
