compiler 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Professional (C)'

I have seen this question being asked a lot of times.

Trouble setting up the compiler 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Professional (C)'. I have found where the problem is. I need a command to actually change the location where Matlab looks for the 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Professional (C)'.

what mex -setup -v had to say about 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Professional (C)'.

... Looking for registry setting 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\SxS\VS7' 12.0 ...Yes ('C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\'). ... Looking for file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin\amd64\cl.exe' ...No.

The issue is the location of cl.exe is in the following location.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64\cl.exe

Can anyone suggest a way I could change the location where matlab looks for this??

Thanks in advance.

Got the exact same problem, no solution in sight... What a joke.

You could try making the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin\amd64\ and copy and paste the contents of the other directory into the folder. It's not the most elegant solution but it is fairly unobtrusive and doesn't involve messing with the internals of MATLAB.

Hey Adam, That was one of the first things I tried, with little success. It was missing a bunch more of the paths.
