How to run a .exe file with push button (GUI)?

Hello!!
I would like to ask for your help, as I have ran out of options.
On my GUI, I would like to run a Matlab app (.exe file), when user clicks on push button (my GUI it's still a .m file).
I have tried:
  • run ('path for .exe file')
  • run tool.exe
  • tool.exe in the call back of my button
I always get an Error message saying that the file can't be found.
Suggestions on how to solve this??
Thanks in advance!
