Ah, well. This error message means, that M is not a struct. Without seeing the code, it is impossible to guess, what the problem is. But you do have the power to use the debugger to step through your code until you find out, why M is not defined as you expect.

I've had no issue running MATLAB on Windows 7.

debasish, there are a number of documented problems in running earlier versions of MATLAB on Windows 7.

Matlab 2012a is compatible with Windows7 in general.
You hesitate to explain, what "does not work" explicitly means. So I can only guess: When you install the 32-bit Matlab on a 64 bit Windows, the program folder is created in "C:\Program Files (x86)". Some functions will fail due to the spaces in the path. Therefore I've created "C:\ProgramFiles_" in addition and create the 32-bit Matlab there.

dbstop if error
Then run your script. What is M? I am willing to guess it is not a struct and thus why you are getting that error.
This likely has nothing to do with OS.

It could have to do with different files being on the MATLAB path.
