C / C++ Compiler Configuration

Hi guys,
Some troubles configuring Matlab 2018b to compile C or C++ files.
Basics:
I have multiple compilers installed on the computer, ranging from a Visual Studio 2017 to the Ming compiler that you can get from the Add-Ons menu ( all from today )
- For C - the Ming is the only one that is detected, but when trying the official demo, I arrive at this
mex yprime.c
Warning: You are using an unsupported version of MinGW Compiler. To install the supported version of
MinGW compiler, see: Install MinGW-w64 Compiler.
For a list of currently supported compilers visit https://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers.
Error using mex
The command 'C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2018b\3P.instrset\mingw_w64.instrset\bin\gcc'
exited with a return value '0'
- For C++ - no compilers are detected, including the Ming one.
The mex -setup -v cpp log:
>> mex -setup -v C++
Verbose mode is on.

Error using mex
No supported compiler was found. You can install the freely available MinGW-w64 C/C++ compiler; see
Install MinGW-w64 Compiler. For more options, visit https://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers.
Things I've tried -
- Reinstall Matlab (got this new 2018b, upgraded from 2017b)
- Reinstall VS 2017 (I can assert that is can compile C++ files)
- Reinstall Ming from the official Add-Ons Menu
Has anyone encounterd this problem?

I installed R2018b last week. Then I've downloaded the MinGW compiler:
https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/52848-matlab-support-for-mingw-w64-c-c-compiler
and the free community version of the MSVC 2017 compiler suite:
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/de/downloads/ (here the "de" version)
I've selected these options (sorry for the German, but the translation is trivial):

Afterwards Matlab found the MinGW and the MSVC compiler directly.

Hi Ido Manuel,
Did you manage to find a solution to Matlab not finding C++ compiler even if it's already installed? I'm facing the same problem and cannot find a solution to it.
Appreciate your response.

Install visual studio 2017, visual studio build tools
![](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/509862/image.png)
now follow this for env variables

Also check this
I have uploaded 5 regedit export files in this Gdrive link which can solve your issue
[CAUTION EDIT LOCATIONS WHERE YOU HAVE INSTALLED YOUR VS]
This may help you to resolve missing keys
by clicking on edit you can see written inside them, after that you can also edit/export by yourself.
