The first point to start at such problems is the examination of the documentation:

https://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers.html (for 2017a, link will change in the future, see https://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/previous_releases.html then).

There you find a list of the supported compilers:

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Family12
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Professional
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Professional
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Professional
• Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1

The error message sound like "Visual Studio Enterprise 2015" is not supported.

Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 contains everything Visual Studio Professional 2015 has.

my mistake was to check the c++ compiler in the visual studio installation -.-'' (bad mistake)
