Unactionable error message in process.m

I'm getting an error message while calling the AWE process function from the Matlab API, as follows:

>> verif(3, 240, 1, 1, 5, 1)
Using binary from win32-vc100-rel

This error is not actionable, IE it doesn't tell me what I'm doing wrong, so I don't know what to change in my code/environment in order to avoid this error. So I have two questions:

• What is causing this error, and how do I avoid it?
• In a future version of AWE Pro, is it possible that the error messages could be made more actionable? I have had a similar experience with several other AWE error messages; for example, if I call add_module_path before calling awe_init , I get this error:

>> add_module_path
Dot indexing is not supported for variables of this type.
Error in add_module_path 

I later realised that I hadn't called awe_init before calling add_module_path, but the error message wasn't very helpful when it came to resolving the problem.
