MinGW add-on installation fails

Hi I'm trying to install MinGW to compile a .c file. I'm using the Add-Ons menu as suggested by https://it.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/install-mingw-support-package.html

However, when the setup is close to the end, I receive this message

The text says "MinGW compiler not setup for use with MEX: "setx" is not recognized as internal or external command, an executable program or a batch file"

what should I do? Are there other compilers I could use?

Thank you very much, Luca
