No SDK found with mex file

Hi all,

I've tried to look at the different pages concerning the installation of windows SDK, but I can't fix my problem.

I've installed the SDK 7.1 from windows and as far as I could see it has been properly done. My problem is that when I try "mex -setup" in Matlab, it tells me that :

mex -setup
Error using mex
No supported compiler or SDK was found. For options, visit 
http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2014b/win64.html.

Can anybody help me ? Thanks...

Stéphane - ensable verbosity in your setup and paste the results back to this question. In the Command Window, type

 mex -v -setup

You might get an idea as to why your SDK 7.1 is not being chosen (perhaps an environment variable is missing).

[Stéphane]

Sorry, I missed your reply...

It seems that something went wrong during the installation of the SDK as matlab (and I) can't find any reference of it in the registry...

Thanks !

Luqman Subki , which operating system are you using, and which MATLAB release are you using?

My os is Window 10 and i'm using MATLAB R2014b.

I already install Microsoft Window SDK for Window 10 and Visual Basic 2015 (Community), but the error still persist. And still got this:

R2014b is not compatible with Windows 10. In particular, there is no known way to get a compiler to work with that combination, due to a Microsoft bug. I do not know if perhaps one of those commercial Intel compilers could be made to work.

MATLAB R2014b does not support Windows SDK 10.

You need MATLAB R2015b for Windows 10.

@Walter Roberson

Thank you for your effort to looks into this matter. But i still can't solve my problem. I have no idea how to run my code if not using R2015b.

[Walter Roberson]

If you have R2014b and you need the compiler on MS Windows 10, then you need to downgrade to Windows 8, or you need to upgrade to R2015b, or you need to convince Microsoft to fix their bug in supporting the runtimes for a compiler that is compatible with R2014b.

If you are under software support from Mathworks, you could open a technical support case with them. It is possible that they have a patch for R2014b that has not be publicly announced.
