I have installed the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015/2017 Professional, and I would like to select it as a compiler in MATLAB using mbuild -setup or mex -setup.

However, it doesn't show in the compiler list when I run "mbuild -setup" and "mex -setup".

Microsoft Visual Studio 2015/2017 Professional does not install any C/C++ compiler by default. You need to select appropriate components specifically in the installation setting.

VS2015

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh409293.aspx

VS2017

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/install-visual-studio

If you have already selected the C/C++ compilers during installation properly, confirm C program building is successful on Visual Studio.

If some trouble remains after that, please run the following commands and send us the full output message which this produces.
