I have downloaded all the files related to Matlab r2011b from ( https://in.mathworks.com/downloads/ ) and kept them in a separate folder.
Next I start the installer by starting matlab_R2011b_win64_installer.exe ; After that I fill in the liscence details;
But when i am running the installer and asked to Enter the full path to the installation folder: in the folder selection
Then I'm getting either of these 2 messages:
One or more of the following products are required to proceed with the installation:
MATLAB 7.13 (Not available)
You must select a folder where at least one of these products is installed or select these additional products for installation.
OR
Cannot install to the same folder as the installer.
Please install in a different folder.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATLAB#Release_history
the version of 2011b is 7.13, not 7.16. There is not even a 7.16 listed, but since the error message says you need that then I guess you must need it but I don't know what year release it applies to.
Usually all you need to run an old standalone executable is the MATLAB MCR (run time library), which are available here:
But if you go there, for R2011b and earlier, it says: "Open MATLAB and run the command mcrinstaller to locate MATLAB Runtime for redistribution with your compiled components." So that means you need the full MATLAB IDE with the compiler toolbox, and I guess that is why you were trying to download it. But I if you were able to get a full MATLAB version 7.16, it would be very expensive since that Compiler toolbox is like $5k. If you don't have a version with the Compiler toolbox, the library will not be included in the download or installation. So in that case, your best bet is to try to get the run-time library from the person who created your standalone executable.

MATLAB 7.16 uses MCR 7.13
The user is Academic, and has access to older releases. Anyone who has a license for MATLAB compiler newer than R2011b is entitled to use the R2011b version.
