I have installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 community, but when I run:
mex -setup
I get this error:
Error using mex
No supported compiler was found. You can install the freely available MinGW-w64 C/C++
compiler; see Install MinGW-w64 Compiler. For more options, visit

I installed Microsoft Visual Studio in another drive (not C) on Windows 8.1. I have attached the screenshot of Visual Studio components that I have installed.
>> mex -v -setup
Verbose mode is on.

Just call them for the fastest help. The compiler is one of the most expensive toolboxes they sell, if not THE most. They will certainly do all you deserve to help you. It's no additional cost beyond what you've already paid.

Are you sure you installed the C package, and not just some other packages like VB or something? If so, then call the Mathworks and ask them. I had the same problem (only VB) and it couldn't find a compiler until I modified the installation to add C.
