Matlab 2017a does not support Microsoft Visual 2010++ Professional compiler?

I am getting the following from mex -setup -v, but I need to compile with Microsoft Visual 2010++ in order to develop my project in Visual Studio 2010 (It's related to the Bladed Software). Simulink cannot find any c/c++ compilers. It gives me the error "No supported Visual C/C++ compiler found. Check your installation of Visual C/C++.".

In the directory "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2017a\bin\win64\mexopts" I was hoping to find msvc2010.xml, but it is not there.

I'm following the manual for Bladed written by Garrad Hassan, which explains how to compile a .dll in Microsoft visual 2010. However, in order to get my Simulink controller in to c++-code, I have to compile it. This is where I am stuck.

I have also tried several suggested solutions in regards to Microsoft Visual C++ Compilers 2010 SP1 Standard, SDK 7.1 and Redistributable packages. It's unfortunately getting me nowhere.

I'm running on Windows 10 64-bit with Matlab 2017a.

Can anyone help?

Unfortunately, you are out of luck. Look at this document, VC++ 2010 is not supported by R2017a.

Hi Fangjun,

Thanks for your answer. I probably should have seen that before :) I've raised another question related to building the Simulink model using Visual Studio 2012 in c++ here. Do you think you could have a look? Thanks in advance!
