Missing target type "Generic Com Component" on matlab compiler screen

I've got a valid matlab license with compiler, but I see only one target file type in the compiler options. What am I missing?

Hi Philippe Raemy,

To generate Generic COM components, you will need a combination of MinGW 5.3.0 compiler and Windows 10 SDK kit.

In order to install these, follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Install MinGW-w64 from the MathWorks File Exchange: MATLAB Support for MinGW-w64 C/C++ Compiler.
2. Install Windows 10 SDK from the Windows Windows 10 SDK .
3. Run the following command from the MATLAB command window to test if the combination of “MinGW and Windows 10 SDK” is being detected by MATLAB.

mbuild -setup -client mbuild_com

I'm afraid this doesn't work for me. Tried on a fresh install of Matlab 2022a, with Windows SDK installed through Visual Studio 2022.

Installed MinGW via the matlab add-in manager.

I still see only the Excel addin compilation target type...
