Can I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 compilers with MATLAB R2017a or R2016b?

MATLAB R2017b supports Microsoft Visual Studio 2017. But if you hit the "NMAKE: fatal error U1052", then see the following post:

Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 can be added to MATLAB R2017a or MATLAB R2016b through a patch. Support can be added for the following features:

• MEX-file compilation
• MATLAB Compiler
• MATLAB Compiler SDK
• Simulink Coder
• Simulink Real-Time
• Audio System Toolbox

Depending on which products you are using, install the patches attached to the following Bug Reports:
