Yes, I removed the previous path and added the new path.

 Did you restart eeglab from the new path? It is trying to run Amica from c:\program files ...

 It looks like the problem might be that your eeglab directory is under "program files" which has a space. Can you try moving eeglab directory (and Amica plug-in) to a path with no spaces?

 Dear Jason,
Unfortunately, I've checked all of the possible mistakes but it doesn't work. Just for sure I want to share my system and files information.1- I'm using windows7 64. Matlab 2017b. 
2- my amica folder name is AMICA1.5. There are 6 files in the folder (amica15mkl.exe, eeg_loadamica.m, eegplugin_amica.m, loadmodout15.m, pop_runamica.m and runamica15.m). 
3- I've copied two fmpich2.dll and libiomp5md.dll files in C:\Windows\System32 
4- I've downloaded and installed mpich2-1.4-win-x86-64.msi 
5- my EEG signals format is .eeg
6- I did pre-processing steps and then save .set file after that I ran the AMICA with the saved .set file. 
( In File:  E:\Test\atest\aaaaa.fdt   Out Directory: E:\Test\atest\amicaout ). I didn't use characters in the file path.I've tried to change something maybe it works . for example running the MATLAB as administrator, changing the Matlab directory to the folder which .set files are there, changing the Matlab directory to AMICA1.5 folder, copying two .dll files in the AMICA1.5 folder, copying amica15mkl.exe to system32. 
but the result was the same. ( The following error)
Found datfile
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, 
operable program or batch file. 
No gm present, setting num_models to 1
No W present, exiting
Reference to non-existent field 'W'.

I really don't know how what is my mistake or what is the problem?In the Makoto's preprocessing pipeline written fmpich2.dll (Windows DLL, save in directory with binary) I would like to know what does it mean "with binary ", in 'save in directory with binary' sentence.  I've just copied that two .DLL files and pasted in the system32 folder.

 I haven't seen this exact error before ... But many people have had errors when they try to use a file name or path with spaces. Amica won't allow spaces in path or file name (which Windows does e.g.). Hamed can you confirm there are no spaces in the name or path?

I'm not very sure if it is related, but from my experience, sometimes I needed to feed data by specifying fullpath of .fdt file instead of feeding Matlab variable directly to the function input. I still don't what what was wrong, but it was the only solution for me so I did so in some time in the past. I wonder if you want to try it from Matlab command line if you can.
Jason, does it ring a bell to you?

Hello all,
Thanks a lot for your attention and replies.Actually, I did all steps but I have an error I don't know how can I solve it.I first load my .eeg file (Brain vision recorder format) channel locations, filtering and etc. then save it to make .set and .fdt files.after that run the AMICA but I have the following error.
Found datfile
Error using fread
Invalid file identifier. Use fopen to generate a valid file identifier.

Dear Nick and Hamed,

This is using the Amica plugin from the EEGLAB plugin manager right? (EEGLAB menu File > Manage extension > Data process extension). After downloading the plugin, there is a new menu “Run AMICA” in the Tool menu of EEGLAB. I have just tried it again from Mac OSx High Sierra (Matlab 2018a) and it works like a charm. I used the EEGLAB tutorial dataset eeglab_data_epochs_ica.set (in the sample_data folder).

I did try on Windows 7 (Matlab 2017b) and got the same error as you did though. The issue is that the file amica15mkl.exe returns instantaneously.

Z:\data\MATLAB\eeglab\plugins\ amica1.5\amica15mkl.exe Z:\data\matlab\eeglab\sample_ data\amicaout\input.param

Jason, would you mind to look into this?

Best wishes,

Arno
