title: Setting up MATLAB with a C++ compiler
body: <p>I'm kind of new to this, and just want to ask. How can I set up MATLAB to work with a C++ compiler. It seems that since I'm running Windows 8.1 as a prerelease, I'm not able to run visual studio 2013. So, I'm thinking of some C++ compiler that I can use when I run `mex -setup'</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong></p>
  
  <p>I used <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279" rel="nofollow">Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4</a>, and selected it as the compiler, and it worked.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
