For what I am doing I need to use the VS compiler C/C++ language.

- MATLAB version: 2018a. Update 6.

- Visual Studio Community 2017

* Windows 10 SDK (10.0.17134.0)

* Visual Studio C++ core features

* VC++ 2017 version 15.9 v14.16 latest v141 tools

- Operating System: Windows 10 Enterprise

I know that similar questions have been repeated several times. But I am not being able to figure it out.

Thank you in advance.

Often the answer is that you need the enterprise version of VS, but the note in the sys req states that the community version is supported as well.

Maybe you'll have more luck if you specify the language in the setup syntax:

mex -setup CPP -v

(even if C++ is included with C, which is the default)

That worked! Thank you.
