Visual studio 2015 and Matlab 2016a

Hello,

I'm trying to compile -mex files using the trial version of Microsoft studio 2015.

I have Matlab 2016a. Can this be done or do I need to wait for the professional version. This is the output of mex -setup.

Reinstall or open setup file to modify installation. Make sure following is selected:

Programming languages -> Visual C++ -> Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015

This will install required files under:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\amd64

Please read the documentation, e.g. https://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/files/SystemRequirements-Release2016a_SupportedCompilers.pdf

Only the professional version of MSVC 2015 is supported. You can install the MS SDK7.1, which contain all required compilers instead for no charge.
