MEX-files Compiling Error

Hi All,

I'm using Win 7 64 bit and Matlab 2011b.

I had a problem during the setup the mex files. I downloaded SDk 7.1 as mentioned here http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2011b/win64.html

but the problem was not solved.The installation was always aborted giving a fatal error without installing x86 compiler even when i tried to download them separately it didn't work out.

Thanks

This is how the problem was solved:

1. Start insatalling SDk 7.1
2. Uncheck c++ compiliers
3. After SDK installation is done install this update http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4422
4. Open SDK cmd prompt Start >> All programs >> Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 >> Microsoft SDK cmd prompt
5. Change current directory to bin folder
6. Build the required enviromental variables SetEnv.cmd/x64 /debug

you should get the following

   Setting SDK enviroment realtive to C:\Program files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\.

Return to Matlab to setup mex files
