How to solve this error as mentioned- "Unable to locate a C-compiler required by Stateflow and MATLAB Function blocks. Use 'mex -setup' to select a supported C-compiler"

Error-Unable to locate a C-compiler required by Stateflow and MATLAB Function blocks. Use 'mex -setup' to select a supported C-compiler.

My laptop is Windows 8(genuine) 64 bit. I am trying to run my code in MATLAB R2013a which is having State flow charts and S function parameter block. I have gone through the matlab forums to get the solution for this but it is not working. please suggest me the correct way to solve this.

What happens when, at the MATLAB command line, you give the command

mex -setup

Have you installed a compiler? http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2013a/index.html

when i give the command in matlab--- mex -setup

Welcome to mex -setup. This utility will help you set up a default compiler. For a list of supported compilers, see http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2013a/win64.html

Please choose your compiler for building MEX-files:

Would you like mex to locate installed compilers [y]/n? y

No supported SDK or compiler was found on this computer. For a list of supported compilers, see http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2013a/win64.html

1. i have tried to install the compiler from the following link but it is not supporting, mine is windows 8. i m confused whether this is the issue or not. http://www.mathworks.in/support/compilers/R2013a/index.html
