Simulink Real-Time Broken after upgrade to 2017a

I upgraded to 2017a and now when I try to compile a Simulink controller using the real-time toolbox. After it appears to compile I receive an error stating that "The Microsoft-7.1SDK C compiler is not supported for SLRT compiles."

Here is the diagnostic view output

Please select a supported Microsoft Visual Studio compiler.

This could be related to the issue of Microsoft 7.1 SDK Compiler not being installed properly as mentioned here:

The Microsoft 7.1 SDK compiler may not work with Windows 8 or Windows 10. You can also install other supported compilers and select the specific one using "mex -setup" for all mex related builds or for Simulink Real-Time as "slrtsetCC('setup')".

You can use Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 compiler as well. Follow these instructions:
