Is it correct to give a Visual Studio directory name for SDK 7.1 ? Does the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 exist?

Yes thats correct (assuming a default installation of SDK 7.1). If mex can find it you will see this:
mex -setup

If mex cant find it then something is missing from your SDK installation.

Hi,
run the following code and post the output here:

system_dependent('getos')
disp('=====================================')
disp('OS version')

disp('SDK registry check')
disp('=====================================')
try
tmp = winqueryreg('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE','SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1' , 'InstallationFolder')
disp('=====================================')
disp('MT.exe')
disp('=====================================')
disp(exist([tmp,'\bin\mt.exe']))
disp('=====================================')
catch
disp('not found')
end
disp('VS 2010 Pro registry check')

try
winqueryreg('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE','SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Setup\VS','ProductDir')
catch

end
disp('=====================================')
disp('VS ENV')
disp('=====================================')
env = getenv('VS100COMNTOOLS')
disp('=====================================')
if ~isempty(env)
disp('64bit CL.exe')
disp('=====================================')
disp(exist([env,'\\..\\..\\VC\bin\amd64\cl.exe']))

So the actual 64bit compiler (cl.exe) is not installed. Maybe you run into this Microsoft bug? If not, reinstall the SDK. You can follow this guide.
