Problems with mex setup

I use a Matlab 2013a running in a windows 10 64 bits and everytime i try to use mex this following message appears:

>> mex –setup

    C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2013A\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: '–setup' not found. 

Error using mex (line 206)
Unable to complete successfully.

I`ve seen a lot of people with the same problem and i have already tried all solutions: i have installed Visual Studio C 2012, 2014, 2010 , windows SDK for windows 10 and .NET Framework 4.6 SDK

But nothing seems to work. Can someone help me please?

SDK is not enough. you have to install visual studio (at least community version)

while installing you have to select "C++ desktop app development" option

You are typing in the wrong command. You are typing in

mex –setup

but you need

mex -setup

You probably cannot see the difference but it is there. The clue is to look at the error message:

C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2013A\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: '–setup' not found.

Notice how long the line is before "setup". You are using a m-dash instead of a regular dash.

Sharp eye. I think I've now hit legally blind in the other eye :(
